Glass Encapsulated SMD Varistor MLV
(VJ12, 20, 13, 14, 15, 32)
Transient Voltage Suppression, ESD Protection Devices & EMI Devices
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AVX’s Professional Multilayer Varistors include 3 series of
glass coated products as listed below:
• Standard M0/MC/PC Series
• Telecom MT Series
• Automotive MA/PA/QA Series
The glass encapsulation process ensures high insulation
resistance values after reflow soldering and excellent SMT
compatibility. This protection ensures reliability and acid-
resistance against harsh environment like chlorite flux.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Mainly used to reduce transient over-voltages in a very wide
range of electronic products. Some example applications
are:
1) Telecom, 2) Automotive, 3) Consumer Electronics, and
4) Industrial Applications.
