B57238S259M51 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The B57238S259M51 is a leaded NTC thermistor from TDK's S238 series designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a resistance of 2.5 Ohm at 25°C with a tolerance of ±20% and a maximum steady state current of 8.4A. The component can dissipate up to 3.9W at 25°C, with a dissipation factor of 20 mW/K and a thermal time constant of 80 seconds.

 

Mechanically, the part has a 16.0mm diameter body, 7.5mm lead spacing, 6.0mm thickness, and 23.0mm height. The leads are tinned copper wire with 1.0mm diameter and 25.0mm length, and the total weight is 3 grams. The coating is flame retardant to UL 94 V-0. Delivery options include bulk, cardboard tape on reel, or ammo pack.

 

This inrush current limiter is suitable for switch-mode power supplies and soft-start motors. It meets the climatic category 55/170/21 (IEC 60068-1) and carries approvals from UL, IEC, VDE, and CQC. The component is rated for a temperature of 25°C for rated power.
