Zinc Oxide Varistors<br />

General<br />

Metal Oxide Varistors are ceramic passive components<br />

made of zinc oxide sintered together with other metal oxide<br />

additives.<br />

They provide an excellent protective device for limiting surge<br />

voltages and absorbing energy pulses.<br />

Their very good price / performance ratio enables designers<br />

to optimize the transient protection function when designing<br />

the circuits.<br />

Varistors are Voltage Dependent Resistors whose<br />

resistance decreases drastically when voltage is increased.<br />

When connected in parallel with the equipment to protect,<br />

they divert the transients and avoid any further overvoltage<br />

on the equipment.<br />

Manufactured according to high level standards of quality<br />

and service, our Metal Oxide Varistors are widely used as<br />

protective devices in the telecommunications, industrial,<br />

automotive and consumer markets.<br />
