TransGuard^®
AVX Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TransGuard^® multilayer varistors are zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic semiconductor
devices with non-linear voltage-current characteristics (bi-directional) similar to back-
to-back zener diodes. They have the added advantage of greater current and energy
handling capabilities as well as EMI/RFI attenuation.
The increasing use of electronics technologies in all areas require reliable protection
against transient voltages that could damage the electronics circuitry as well as
EMI/RFI attenuation to prevent signal distortion and to meet regulatory requirements.
AVX TransGuard components help achieve both functions with single component.
