Varistors Datasheet
LST Varistor Series
SPD Thermally Protected Varistor
Pb RoHS
Description
The LST Varistor Series is constructed a built-in thermal
disconnecting function and electric arc shield that help ensure safe
operation during extreme circumstances of varistor end-of-life or
abnormal overvoltage conditions. It is specifically designed as a
Type 1 Component Assembly Surge Protective Device (SPD) and
is suitable for Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs.
Features & Benefits
■ Short Circuit Current Rating
(SCCR) of 200 kA and
■ Suitably rated forType 1 and
2 SPD applications
Nominal Discharge Current
Rating (In) of 20 kA
■ Same PCB footprint for 50 kA
and 75 kA Imax
■ Available in both Maximum
Discharge Current (Imax)
ratings of 50 kA and 75 kA.

Note: This typical circuit shows how the switch pins (C and NO) can be used to indicate the connection status
of thermal disconnector for remote indication. This denotes that the circuit will be no longer protected from
surge currents by the MOV after the thermal disconnector forms open circuit.
