Surface Mount Varistors
VE Series High Temperature 150°C
Overview
Applications
KEMET's VE series of high temperature, low voltage
varistors are designed to protect sensitive electronic
devices against high voltage surges in the low voltage
region. In addition to superior operating performance at
ratedꢀ150°Cꢀ(AEC–Q200ꢀcompliance)ꢀtheyꢀofferꢀexcellentꢀ
transient energy absorption due to improved energy volume
distribution and power dissipation.
Typical applications include transient over-voltage
protection in automotive assembly motors and controllers
as well as surge protection of non-automotive electronic
products exposed to over-heating, i.e., consumer,
telecommunication or industrial.
Load dump and jump start protection of 12 to 24 V
supply systems. 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 spec. Replacement of larger surface
mount TVS Zeners in many applications. Designed to
achieve electromagnetic compliance of end products and
provide on-board transient voltage protection of ICs and
transistors.
