Description:

ZVE surface mounted varistors are designed to suppress ESD events, including those
specified in IEC 1000-4-2 of other standards used for electromagnetic compliance
testing. The ZVE Series is typically applied to protect integrated circuits and other
components at the circuit board level operating at 18 Vdc or less.
Fabrication method, design and materials of these devices result in low capacitance
characteristics suitable for high-frequency attenuation/low-pass filter circuit functions,
providing suppression and filtering in a single device.

Features:

• AC operating voltage (Vrms) from 0V to 14V
• DC operating voltage (Vdc) from 0V to 18V
• Rated for ESD (IEC-1000-4-2)
• Fast response time
• Bi-directional, low clamping voltages
• 4 model sizes available 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210
• Characterized for low inductance and capacitance
• +125°C continuous operating temperature
• Dimensional and weight savings on PC board
• Nickel barrier or AgPd end terminations available
• No plastic coating guarantees better flammability rating
• Available in tape and reel of automatic pick and place
• 100% RoHS compliant and lead free without exemption
• Halogen free
• REACH compliant

Applications:

• Used for part and I/O interface protection in mobile, communication, computer/EDP products, medical products,
hand-held/portable devices and industrial equipment
• Suppression of ESD events such as specified in IEC1000-4-2 or MIL-STD 883C, Method 3015.7 for
electromagnetic compliance
• Protection of components and circuits sensitive to ESD, transients occurring on power, control and signaling lines.
