The NV73DL Varistor is ideal suited for counter measures against ESD voltages. Its symmetrically non linearity V-I characteristic absorbs positive and negative surges. The NV73DL offers high maximum energy of up to 1.5 Joule in a 1206 package. Its low leakage current contributes to the efficiency of the whole system. High reliability is achieved by excellent resistance to cycling temperature stress. All these values combined make the NV73DL series ideal for absorption of surge voltages in automotive, occurring from inductive loads, motors and relays etc. They are also suited for protecting semiconductor elements against over voltage.
Three different Varistor chip sizes are available: 0603, 0805 and 1206 (inch). The Varistor voltage range covers 10V up to 90V. Operation of the NV73DL is possible between -40°C and +125°C.
