Surface Mount Varistors
VC Series Low Voltage 125°C
Overview
Applications
KEMET's VC series of low voltage varistors are designed
to protect sensitive electronic devices against high voltage
surges in the low voltage region. VC varistors offer excellent
transient energy absorption due to improved energy volume
distribution and power dissipation.
Typical applications include mobile phones and
telecommunication infrastructure, I/O ports and controllers.
The protection of integrated circuits and other components
at the circuit board level including the suppression of
inductive switching or other transient events such as surge
voltage. ESD protection for components sensitive to IEC
1000–4–2, MILSTD 883C Method 3015.7 and other industry
specifications.ꢀReplacementꢀofꢀlargerꢀsurfaceꢀmountꢀ
TVS Zeners in many applications. Designed to achieve
electromagnetic compliance of end products and provide
on-board transient voltage protection of ICs and transistors.
