Varistor offers hybrid technology with breakthrough surge performance

13-08-2021 | RS Components | Passives

Bourns has introduced its hybrid technology that combines the breakthrough surge performance of EdgMOV protection devices with an integrated GDT isolation structure to create the innovative IsoMOV Series Hybrid Protection Component. These devices are available now from RS Components.

By combining the best features of both MOV and GDT technologies into one component, the series delivers high performance as a long-life protector with lower capacitance, very low leakage and state-of-the-art energy handling density. The series is ideal for AC and DC power applications where premium performance and/or space savings are needed.

The series is UL recognised (pending) and RoHS compliant.


Typical applications include AC line protection for white goods, fire alarm systems, high-value consumer goods, LED lighting, UL1449 SPD, and industrial equipment; and DC line protection for solar inverters, power supplies, and distribution systems.
