The PV series of low & medium voltage plastic-encapsulated varistors is designed
to protect electronic equipment against high voltage surges in the low & medium
voltage region. They offer direct SMD equivalents to leaded disc varistors of 5 and
7 mm sizes. The thermoplastic encapsulation is non-flammable according to the
standard UL 94 V-0. Contacts are made of tinned copper sheet.
PV varistors are designed for surface mounting and are available in two model sizes.
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.
