Varistors suit automotive standards

The VCAS TransGuard series automotive-specific varistors are tested to load-dump and jump-start requirements. The AEC Q200-qualified devices provide bidirectional protection and are print controlled to include users in the product modification process.

The varistors are available in voltage ratings ranging from 16 to 85 Vdc with case sizes ranging from 0402 to 1210. They suit CAN-based module, sensor, module load-dump protection, and motor/inductive load-transient-suppression applications in internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and commercial vehicles. (From $0.01 to $0.35 each — available now.)
