The BVR1210 Series from Bourns are Low-Voltage Multilayered Varistors designed to protect sensitive electronic devices against high-voltage surges. They have an AC voltage rating of 14 V (RMS), a DC voltage rating of 18 V, and a clamping voltage of up to 45 V. These varistors have an operating current of 500 A and a capacitance of 1100 pF. They offer excellent transient energy absorption due to improved energy volume distribution and power dissipation. These IEC 61000-compliant varistors offer quick response time and have high transient current capability. They are utilized to protect integrated circuits and other components at the circuit board level. These RoHS-compliant varistors are available in a surface-mount package that measures 3.2 x 25 x 1.65 mm and are ideal for power supplies, entertainment electronics, and white goods.
