## **Varistors(SMD) Countermeasure for Surge and Static Electricity** 

## **Conformity to RoHS Directive** 

## AVR Series  AVR-M, AVRL Types 

Varistor (Variable resistor) is a nonlinear resistive element of the voltage dependence that resistance changes with applied voltage. Varistor is equivalent with Zener diode of two series connection. Therefore, do not have polarity.

## **FEATURES** 

- No polarity, due to symmetrical current-voltage characteristics. Equivalent to anode common type Zener diode. 

- Excellent electrostatic absorption capability. Response is as good or better than Zener diode. Keeps symmetrical current-voltage characteristics even after electrostatic absorption. 

- Adopted the inner electrodes lamination structure. Wide range of varistor voltages are available in series (8 to 39V). Low capacitance items are available in series (3.3pF to). World’s smallest 0603-type, 1005-, 1608-, 2012-chip types and 1410-array type are available in series.

## **CIRCUITS** 

## **SINGLE TYPE ARRAY TYPE** 

- Excellent mount reliability. Good for Pb-free soldering. Adopted (Ni/Sn) electroplating. 

- Achieved good solderability and solder heat resistance. 

- Can replace a Zener diode + capacitor combination. Reduced footprint and total mounting cost. 

## **APPLICATIONS** 

- Electrostatic absorption 

- Pulse noise absorption
