The PV series plastic-encapsulated varistor is designed to protect electronic equipment against voltage surges in the low and medium voltage region. It is designed for surface mounting and offers direct SMD equivalents to leaded disc varistors of 5 and 7 mm sizes. The thermoplastic encapsulation is non-flammable and UL 94 V-0 rated. Contacts are made of tinned copper sheet. These transient voltage suppressors cover an operating voltage Vrms from 11 V to 300 V, featuring maximum surge currents from 100 A to 1200 A.
