NV73S – New High Surge Current Multilayer Metal Oxide Varistors

KOA’s new NV73S-series of multilayer metal oxide varistors offers excellent surge absorption.

The use of KOA's proprietary ceramic materials and optimization of the structure results in high surge current ratings. The NV73S is available in 3 sizes: 1210, 1812 and 2220 inch. 2220 inch size has a surge current of 6000 A, which is about five times higher than that of existing products.

NV73S series offers significant space saving compared with disc varistors and other surge protection components.

Important features of this new varistor series are:
•     High max energy (J)
•     High peak current Ip (A)
•     Low profile
•     Absorbs positive and negative surges
•     EU-RoHS compliant

The new NV73S varistors are ideal for ESD and EMI protection in electronic devices. In industrial applications, they are especially suitable to protect against induced surges and ESD from relays, motors, solenoid valves, etc.
