BCComponents Introduces 0603-Size Varistors

October 07, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

BCComponents International BV (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) has extended its multi-layer varistor range of devices with the introduction of 0603 case-size versions.

These devices are intended for surge suppression and ESD protection applications in the telecom and automotive markets. They are also designed for consumer applications such as A/V appliances, PCs and modems.

The varistors offer enhanced circuit protection through short response times and inherent bi-directional clamping. They exhibit low capacitance values ranging from 60pF to 390pF and low leakage current. They are suitable for wave or reflow soldering. The devices meet IEC 1000-4-2 standards.
