SMD varistor AV Series

for automotive applications

Almost all-electronic systems in an automobile, e.g. anti-lock brake system, direct ignition system, airbag control system, wiper motors, etc. are susceptible to damage from destructive voltage transients. AV varistors are transient suppressors with temperature independent suppression characteristics enabling protection from -55 °C to 125 °C. AV varistors offer excellent transient energy distribution. AV varistors require significantly less space and pad area than silicon TVS diodes, offering greater circuit board layout flexibility for the designer.
