Technical Documents

AVX TransGuard® Varistors Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) offer unique high-energy multilayer construction and represent state-of-the-art overvoltage circuit protection. Monolithic multilayer construction provides protection from voltage transients caused by ESD (e.g. IEC 61000-4-2), lightning, inductive switching, automotive related transients such as load dump (ISO 7637-2-5), jump start, and other automotive transients (e.g. ISO 7637 Pulse 1-3, AEC-Q200-002, ISO 10605, ISO 16750-2, Cl-220, Cl-260).

New at Mouser – AVX TransGuard® Varistors
