TransGuard

Multilayer Varistors for Automotive Applications

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TransGuard Automotive Series are zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic semicon-

ductor devices with non-linear, bi-directional voltage-current characteristics.

They have the advantage of offering bi-directional overvoltage protection as well as

EMI/RFI attenuation in a single SMT package. The Automotive Series high current

and high energy handling capability make them well suited for protection against

automotive related transients.

AVX VG series parts (large case size, high energy) are glass encapsulated. These

parts provide the same high reliability as traditional VC series parts. The glass

encapsulation provides also enhanced resistance against harsh environment or

process such as acids, salts, chlorite flux.

Operating Temperature: -55ºC to +125ºC

FEATURES

• High Reliability

• High Energy Absorption (Load Dump)

• High Current Handling

APPLICATIONS

• Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicles

• Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV)

• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)

• Commercial Vehicles

– CAN, LIN, FLEXRAY based modules

– Sensors

– Module load dump protection

– Motor/inductive load transient suppression
