Medium Power Multilayer Chip Varistor

Transient Voltage Suppression, ESD Protection Devices & EMI Devices

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AVX’s Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) devices address

six trends in today’s electronic circuits: (1) mandatory ESD

protection, (2) mandatory EMI control, (3) signal integrity

improvement, (4) PCB downsizing, (5) reduced component

placement costs, and (6) protection form induced slow

speed transient voltages and currents.

AVX’s Medium Power Multilayer Varistors include 3 series of

products as listed below:

• Standard 1210 Series (VJ13)

• Telecom Series (VC14)

• Automotive Range (VC13, 14, 15, 20)

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Mainly used to reduce transient over-voltages in a very wide range of electronic products. Some example applications are

1) Telecom, 2) Automotive, 3) Consumer Electronics, and 4) Industrial Applications.
