The DV 17 K 4032 from Bourns is a Metal Oxide Varistor that has been designed to protect electronic equipment against high voltage surges or transients in the medium voltage region. It has an AC voltage rating of 17 V and a DC voltage rating of 22 V. This varistor has a clamping voltage of 53 V. It has a leadless chip design that ensures zero inductance to facilitate extremely fast response time to transient surges. This metal-oxide varistor (MOV) exhibits excellent transient energy absorption due to improved energy-volume distribution and power dissipation. It has a low profile and operates over a temperature from -40° C to +125°C. This RoHS-compliant MOV varistor is available in a surface-mount package that measures 10 x 8 mm and is ideal for circuit protection applications.
