The DV 175 K 4032 from Bourns is a Medium Voltage Varistor that has been designed to protect electronic equipments against high voltage surges in the medium voltage region. It has an AC voltage rating of 175 V, a DC voltage rating of 225 V, and a clamping voltage of 455 V. This varistor offers excellent transient energy absorption due to improved energy volume distribution and power dissipation. It has a leadless chip form design with zero inductance to facilitate extremely fast response time to transient surges, thereby ensuring reliability. This varistor is tolerant to common water cleaning procedures and humidity (climatic category 55/125/56). It has a very low profile compared to other Bourns’ medium voltage varistors. This RoHS-compliant varistor is available in a surface-mount package that measures 10 x 8 x 2 mm.
