AS320R536

Vishay Ametherm AS320R536 in the Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) category is typically selected when engineers need predictable, spec-driven behavior in a production design. A coordinated protection strategy improves safety and reduces costly field failures. They protect circuits and users from overloads, surges, ESD, and overheating events that cause downtime and safety risk. In industrial equipment, inrush control reduces nuisance trips and contact wear when loads are switched repeatedly in noisy mains environments. In power distribution, limiting peak current improves reliability of upstream supplies and wiring harnesses during brownouts and restart events. In field service, predictable inrush behavior simplifies troubleshooting by making startup current profiles repeatable across units. Overall, it improves predictability by keeping key performance stable across manufacturing variance and operating conditions.
