- All specifications are subject to change without notice. 

• Conformity to RoHS Directive: This means that, in conformity with EU Directive 2002/95/EC, lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and specific bromine-based flame retardants, PBB and PBDE, have not been used, except for exempted applications.

## **Varistors(SMD)** 

## **Conformity to RoHS Directive** 

## **Countermeasure for Surge Voltage and Static Electricity** 

## AVR Series  AVR-M, AVRL Types 

Varistors are voltage dependent nonlinear resistive elements with a resistance that decreases rapidly when the voltage is over the constant value. 

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 (6.8 to 39V).

## **CIRCUITS SYMBOL** 

Low capacitance items are available in series (1.1pF to). World’s smallest 0402-, 0603-, 1005-, 1608-, 2012-chip types are available in series. 

- 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
