CL-120A, ICL NTC Thermistor, 10 ohm, 1.7 A, 4.32 J, Disc 10.16 mm, CL Series

CL-120A is a CL series NTC inrush current limiter, disc thermistor with uninsulated kinked lead-wires are used to control inrush current when switching power supplies. The main purpose of limiting inrush current is to prevent components in series with the input to the DC/DC converter from being damaged. Typically, inrush protection prevents nuisance blowing of fuses or breakers as well as welding of switch contacts.
