Bourns OV series automotive grade dual function varicons

The OV series is a series of dual function protective devices that help protect against voltage surges in a voltage region and against radio frequency noise. This component typically replaces two components – a low voltage varistor and a capacitor. OV series varicons incorporate a varistor function in a voltage region (12 V, 24 V, 42 V) and a function of a radio-frequency filtering capacitor in a high capacitance range from 0.47 to 1.5 μF (higher values are available upon request), making them ideal for protection in certain automobile electronics applications. OV varicons are square shaped components with in-line leads, which require very little mounting space - at least 30 % less than the two components they typically replace. Dual function varicons are also available in an SMD version upon request and are compliant with Pb-free soldering.
