Overview

The ICP-S is an IC protector of surface mounting type developed as an element for the protection of ICs from output short-circuiting damage. The internal resistance of this lightweight, compact overcurrent protection element is low, as long as the steady-state current of the element does not exceed the rated DC orAC current. The ICP-S, however, turns off ICs instantly if the steady-state current reaches or exceeds the breaking current of the ICP-S.

Features

1) Instantly breaks currents with a low potential drop. (See 3-1 Potential Drop Comparison)

2) Compact surface-mounting model. (See 2. External Dimensions)

3) Unlike fuses, there is no steady-state current reduction with the rated current applied. No derating is necessary.

4) Minimal breaking point dispersion. (See the graph in 3-2 Breaking Current Dispersion

Characteristics)

5) Excellent temperature characteristics (See the graphs in 3-3 Temperature Characteristics)

? The fluctuation of the breaking current caused by temperature changes is minimal.

? Wide operating temperature range: ?55°C to +125°C

6) Excellent vibration resistance.

7) UL-approved product with certification No. 107856.

8) No deterioration or circuit breaking caused by static electricity.
