GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AVX’s Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) devices address

six trends in today’s electronic circuits: (1) mandatory ESD

protection, (2) mandatory EMI control, (3) signal integrity

improvement, (4) PCB downsizing, (5) reduced component

placement costs, and (6) protection form induced slow

speed transient voltages and currents.

AVX’s Medium Power Multilayer Varistors include 3 series of

products as listed below:

• Standard 1210 Series (VJ13)

• Telecom Series (VC14)

• Automotive Range (VC13, 14, 15, 20)

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.

CCITT 10x700µs TEST

A test pulse of 10x700µs duration as specified by CCITT or

IEC 61000-4-5 is often used to check the interference

immunity of telecom equipment.

The curves show that the 60Vrms varistor can reduce the

interference voltage at the equipment connected from 2kV

to less than 200V.

TARGET APPLICATIONS

• Phone Lines, ADSL Lines, and other Telecom Circuits

• Consumer Products
