New products for transient protection

Yageo introduces a new range of Multilayer Chip Varistors (MLV) under its Phycomp brand. The products are available in case sizes 0603 and 0402, with a working voltage range from 5.5 V to 30 V and in capacitances ranging from 3 pF to 680 pF.

For full ranges, go to:
0402 range
0603 range

Yageo Multilayer Chip Varistors protect sensitive low-voltage electronic circuitry against high-voltage transients. They are characterized by outstanding transient energy absorption thanks to their excellent energy volume distribution and power dissipation. Moreover, their wide operating-voltage and energy range make them ideal for protection circuitry in a host of areas including protection of V and I/O pins as well as protection of devices such as computer keyboards, Liquid Crystal Displays and sensors.

Benefits:

• Surface-mount component
• Excellent clamping voltage
• Fast response (<1 ns)
• Low capacitance
• High transient current capability
• Symmetrical voltage-current characteristics

Applications include:

• Consumer electronic equipment
• Telecommunications equipment
• Electronic data processing (EDP) equipment
• Automotive electronics
