CAN0007DP

The CAN series Communication Bus Varistor is a zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic semiconductor device with non- linear voltage-current characteristics bidirectional similar to back-to-back Zener diodes and an EMC capacitor in parallel. It has added advantage of greater current and energy handling capabilities as well as EMI/RFI attenuation. The varistor is fabricated by a ceramic sintering process that yields a structure of conductive ZnO grains surrounded by electrically insulating barriers, creating varistor like behaviour. The AVX communication bus varistor offers the advantages of large inrush current capability, low capacitance to minimize signal distortion, fast turn on time to conservatively clamp the energy before its maximum and off state EMI filtering through their bulk capacitance. It features coupled with an extremely low FIT rate and excellent process capability make an ideal device for today's automotive or general circuit protection.
