AEC-Q200 compliant automotive-grade multilayered varistor series announced

Bourns, Inc. has announced its Model BVRA Series AEC-Q200 compliant, automotive-grade multilayered varistors. These new low-voltage vristors provide outstanding transient energy absorption due to improved energy volume distribution and power dissipation. Designed specifically for automotive circuits requiring surge protection, the new series can also be applied to protect other integrated circuits and components such as power supplies, entertainment electronics, and CAN, LIN and FLEXRAY-based modules.

The Model BVRA Series has working voltages from 5.5VD to 85VDC and provides a quick response time of less than 0.5ns to help ensure prompt energy diversion during transient events. Offered in a range of compact 0402, 0603, 0805, and 1206 SMD packages, The company's new varistors have an insulator overcoat designed to improve efficiency and streamline integration. In addition, these models meet the IEC 61000-4-5 standard and deliver stable leakage current for a high-reliability, consistent overvoltage protection solution.

The AEC-Q200 compliant, automotive-grade multilayered varistor series is available now. It is RoHS compliant and lead-free.
