The B57238S0xxxM0xx series from EPCOS are radial leaded NTC inrush current limiters (ICLs). These NTC thermistors can be used as inrush current limiters to suppress high inrush current. The high currents in the circuits are caused by low impedance of smoothing capacitors or coils which produce short circuits when the device is switched on. B57238S0xxxM0xx series ICLs are commonly used in switch mode power supplies and soft start motors.
