Description:

The ZV Series of low voltage varistors is designed to protect sensitive electronics devices

against high voltage surges in the low voltage region. They offer excellent transient energy

absorption due to improved energy volume distribution and power dissipation. Low voltage

varistors cover wide DC operating voltage range from 14V to 170V. The ZVY Series is the

same except for higher operating temperatures up to 150ºC.

ZV varistors are typically applied to protect components at the circuit board level.

Features:

• Nickel barrier terminations

• AC operating voltage (Vrms) from 11V to 130V

• DC operating voltage (Vdc) from 14V to 170V

• No plastic coating guarantees better flammability rating

• Bi-directional, low clamping voltages

• Broad range of current and energy handling capabilities

• +125ºC continuous operating temperature, +150ºC for ZVY

• Dimensional and weight savings on PC board

• AgPd end terminations also available

• ZVY high temperature product will have performance characteristics different from the ZV.

Contact Stackpole for specific details.
