AVHT Series - High Temperature Automotive Grade Varistors
General Information
Multilayered Varistor Symbol
Almost all electronic systems in an automobile, e.g., anti-lock brake system, direct
ignition system, airbag control system, wiper motors, etc. are susceptible to damage
from destructive voltage transients. Bourns® AVHT Series multilayered varistors are
transient suppressors with temperature independent suppression characteristics
enabling protection from -55 °C to 150 °C.
U
AVHT Series varistors offer excellent transient energy distribution. AV varistors require
significantly less space and pad area than silicon TVS diodes, offering greater circuit
board layout flexibility for the designer.
