Transient Voltage Suppressors
VC, VJ Series
Pb Free
RoHS Compliant
(Unit: mm)
The AVX TransGuard Transient Voltage
Suppressors (TVS) with unique high-
energy multilayer construction represents
state-of-the-art over/ voltage circuit
protection.
Monolithic multilayer construction provides/
protects from voltage transients caused by
ESD, lightning, NEMP, inductive switching, etc.
True surface mount product is provided in
EIA industry stadard packages.
Through-hole components are supplied as
conformally coated axial devices.
VJ (Automotive) Series has load dump
capabilities of DP7637-2 12V and 24V
Pulse 5 according to ISO standard.
