Bourns Announces AEC-Q200 Compliant, Automotive Grade Multilayered Varistor Series

Bourns new low voltage varistors feature excellent transient energy absorption due to their enhanced energy volume distribution and power dissipation design

RIVERSIDE, Calif., October 17, 2024 - Bourns, Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, today announced its Model BVRA Series AEC-Q200 compliant, automotive grade multilayered varistors. These new low voltage varistors feature excellent transient energy absorption due to improved energy volume distribution and power dissipation. Designed specifically for use in automotive circuits requiring surge protection, the new series can also be applied to protect other integrated circuits and components such as power supplies, entertainment electronics, and CAN, LIN and FLEXRAY-based modules.

The Model BVRA Series is available with working voltages from 5.5 to 85 VDC and provides a quick response time of less than 0.5 ns to help ensure prompt energy diversion during transient events. Offered in a range of compact 0402, 0603, 0805 and 1206 SMD packages, Bourns new varistors have an insulator overcoat designed to help enhance efficiency and streamline integration. In addition, these models meet the IEC 61000-4-5 standard, and deliver stable leakage current for a high reliability, consistent overvoltage protection solution.

The Bourns® Model BVRA AEC-Q200 compliant, automotive grade multilayered varistor series is available now and is RoHS* compliant and lead free. For more detailed product information, please see: www.bourns.com/products/circuit-protection/varistor-products/automotive.

*RoHS Directive 2015/863, Mar 31, 2015 and Annex.
