Axial TransGuard and StaticGuard
AVX Axial Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Axial TransGuard® multilayer varistors are zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic
semiconductor devices with non-linear voltage-current characteristics (bi-directional)
similar to back-to-back zener diodes. They have the added advantage of greater
current and energy handling capabilities as well as EMI/RFI attenuation.
Axial StaticGuard is low capacitance version of the TransGuard and are designed for
general ESD protection of CMOS, Bi-Polar, and SiGe based systems.
AVX Axial varistors are designed for applications where leaded component is
prefered and for durability in harsh environment.
