Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) are bidirectional and non-linear surge suppressor devices that are widely used for limiting voltage during a surge or transient event in a broad variety of applications. These highly reliable and robust overvoltage protection devices are available in multiple protection ranges and forms. Discover Bourns® extensive offering.
ZV SMD Series - Low Voltage Varistors
The ZV series of low voltage multilayered varistors is designed to protect sensitive electronic devices against high voltage surges in the low voltage region. They offer excellent transient energy absorption due to improved energy volume distribution and power dissipation.
- Surface mount styles with multiple sizes available
- Broad range of current and energy handling capabilities
- Leadless chip form - zero indutance facilitating extremely fast response time to transient surges
Automotive Grade Varistors - AV Series
Bourns® AV Series multilayered varistors are transient suppressors with temperature independent suppression characteristics enabling protection from -55 to +125 °C. AV Series varistors offer excellent transient energy distribution.
