TransGuard^® Automotive Series
Multilayer Varistors for Automotive Applications
LEAD-FREE COMPATIBLE
COMPONENT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TransGuard Automotive Series are zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic semicon-
ductor devices with non-linear, bi-directional voltage-current characteristics.
They have the advantage of offering bi-directional overvoltage protection as well as
EMI/RFI attenuation in a single SMT package. The Automotive Series high current
and high energy handling capability make them well suited for protection against
automotive related transients.
AVX VG series parts (large case size, high energy) are glass encapsulated. These
parts provide the same high reliability as traditional VC series parts. The glass
encapsulation provides also enhanced resistance against harsh environment or
process such as acids, salts, chlorite flux.
Operating Temperature: -55ºC to +125ºC
