AVR Ser ies AVR-M, AVRL Types



Varistors are voltage dependent nonlinear resistive elements with a resistance that decreases rapidly when the voltage is over the constant value. Varistor is equivalent with Zener diode of two series connection. Therefore, do not have polarity.

FEATURES

•  No polarity, due to symmetrical current-voltage characteristics.

    Equivalent to anode common type Zener diode.

•  Excellent electrostatic absorption capability.

   Response is as good or better than Zener diode.

   Keeps symmetrical current-voltage characteristics even after electrostatic absorption.

•  Adopted the inner electrodes lamination structure.

   Wide range of varistor voltages are available in series (6.8 to 39V).

   Low capacitance items are available in series (1.1pF to).

   World’s smallest 0402-, 0603-, 1005-, 1608-, 2012-chip types are available in series.

•  Excellent mount reliability. Good for Pb-free soldering.

   Adopted (Ni/Sn) electroplating.

   Achieved good solderability and solder heat resistance.

•  Can replace a Zener diode + capacitor combination. 

   Reduced footprint and total mounting cost.



APPLICATIONS

• Electrostatic absorption

• Pulse noise absorption
