Automotive

Specifications

Qualified for use in the harsh environments found in automotive and industrial applications. Customers are able to choose their own combination of electrical parameters, including capacitance, operating voltages and surge currents. Compared to common disc varistors, automotive varistors and varistor + capacitor EMI filters offer better electrical performance in much smaller case sizes.
