Bourns MV series low voltage dual function varicons

The MV series is series of dual function protective devices that help protect against voltage surges in a low voltage region against high frequency noise. This component typically replaces two components – a low voltage varistor and a capacitor. MV series varicons incorporate a varistor function in the DC voltage range from 3V to 125V (up to 170V upon request) and function as high frequency bypass capacitors operating in the capacitance range from 10nF to 1μF. Lower capacitance values are also available. They are intended for protection of all sensitive electronic devices experiencing both voltage transients and high frequency noise produced by  electromechanical devices, such as buzzers, relays, etc. MV series varicons are square shaped components with in-line leads requiring very little mounting space - at least 30% less than the two components they typically replace.
