Miniature AC Varistor

__________________________________________________________________________________________

AVX introduces Miniature AC varistors for use in automotive applications.

MAV series devices are an ideal solution to transient suppression in LC

resonant circuits intended for signal & power transfer. The AVX part

provides low loss in the resonant circuit yet is able to clamp large amounts

of transients in a bidirectional manner.

The ability to handle large transients makes the MAV series useful in low

power AC circuit protection as well. Applications including: AC sampling

circuitry, transformer secondaries, and GFI modules.
