Description:
Almost all electronic systems in internal-combustion powered vehicles, e.g., anti-lock
brakes, direct ignition, airbag control, wiper motors, etc. are susceptible to damage from
destructive voltage transients.
AV varistors are TVS chips that have suppression characteristics enabling protection from
-55ºC to +125ºC (+150ºC for AVY). These multilayer varistors offer excellent transient
energy absorption in a small package due to improved internal energy distribution. AV
series parts require significantly smaller space and pad area than silicon TVS diodes,
offering greater circuit board layout flexibility for designer.

Features:
• AC operating voltage range (Vrms) from 14V to 40V
• DC operating voltage (Vdc) from 16V to 56V
• Broad range of current and energy handling capabilities
• 6 model sizes available: 0805, 1206, 1210, 1812, 2220 and 3225
• AVY high temperature product will have performance
characteristics different from the AV listed here. Contact Stackpole for specific details.
