AVX varistor series can withstand multiple strikes
An AVX product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Mar 18, 2010
AVX has expanded its multilayer Transguard varistor series to include an 85VDC rating in a 1210 case size.
Designated the VC121085S151 series, the single-chip solution provides bidirectional transient voltage protection in the on-state and good EMI/RFI attenuation in the off-state.
AVX has expanded its multilayer TransGuard varistor series to include a 85VDC rating in a 1210 case size.
Equipped with sub-nS turn-on time, the 85VDC varistor has the ability to withstand multiple strikes and provides good energy and current handling capability while protecting sensitive circuits from over-voltage conditions caused by ESD, lightning, NEMP and inductive switching.
In addition, the VC121085S151 series devices have a peak current rating of 250A.
The VC121085S150 series is said to be ideal for DC/DC converters on hybrid electric vehicles; aftermarket automotive accessories such as GPS and audio equipment; renewable energy modules using a 48V BUS such as wind-powered chargers, solar panels and inverters; as well as commercial and military vehicles.
