**Glass Encapsulated SMD Varistor MLV (VJ32/VC32)** 

## **GENERAL DESCRIPTION** 

The VJ32/VC32M0 Series offers the designer a surface mount solution with higher voltage ratings and transient energy ratings. This Multilayer Layer Surface Mount Varistor replaces the traditional radial-lead Varistors with reduced size and weight. The glass encapsulation ensures the high performances in voltage up to 300Vrms reliability and acid-resistance against harsh environment like chlorite soldering flux.

## **SURFACE MOUNTING GUIDE (VJ13, 14, 15, 20)** 

## **APPLICATIONS NOTES** 

## **SOLDERABILITY/LEACHING** 

- a)  The visual standards used for evaluation of solder joints will need to be modified as lead free joints are not as bright as with tin-lead pastes and the fillet may not be as large. 

Terminations to be well soldered after immersion in a 60/40 tin/lead solder bath at 235±5ºC for 2±1 seconds. Terminations will resist leaching for at least the immersion times and conditions recommendations shown below. 

- b)  Lead-free solder pastes do not allow the same self alignment as lead containing systems. Standard mounting pads are acceptable, but machine set up may need to be modified.
