10 Ohm NTC Thermistor (D98E)
10 Ω Power NTC Thermistor 10D-15 for Inrush Current Limiting
Simple, effective surge-protection for your electronics
Introducing the 10 D-15 power NTC thermistor — a straightforward, cost-effective component for everyday electronics projects where controlling startup current matters. This single-piece thermistor is designed to make your life easier by limiting inrush current and protecting your equipment without complicated installation or setup.
What this thermistor does and how it works
The 10 D-15 is a negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistor: at turn-on, it presents a higher resistance (≈ 10 Ω at 25 °C) and, as current flows and the part warms, its resistance drops significantly (to approx. 0.18 Ω under the rated current). This behaviour slows the surge of current at power-up and then passes full current during normal operation — reducing stress on your power supply, wiring and connected components.
Key technical specs for your design
- Nominal resistance at 25 °C: 10 Ω.
- Maximum steady-state current: 5 A.
- Residual resistance under max current: approx. 0.18 Ω.
- Dissipation coefficient (δ): approx. 20 mW/°C.
- Thermal time constant: about 75 s.
- Disk diameter: ~15 mm (D-15 series).
Why everyday users will appreciate this part
If you’re building a custom power supply, DIY amplifier, LED driver or a hobbyist control system, you’ll recognize the frustration of big current spikes at startup — fuses blowing, transformers clicking, or components tripping. The 10 D-15 thermistor solves that instantly. You simply wire it in series with the main power input and it self-regulates the start-up surge without adding complexity or adjusting settings.
Installation is plug-and-play: place it in series with the input line, secure the leads, allow for ventilation, and you’re done. It’s also compact enough to fit into most hobby or light industrial builds, yet rugged enough for repeated start-stop cycles.
Typical applications for this thermistor
- Power supply modules in DIY electronics kits and prototypes
- LED lighting drivers where startup current must be controlled
- Audio amplifiers or electronics rigs with capacitive input filters
- Control panels, industrial hobby builds and maker-projects where reliability matters
