KYOCERA AVX TransGuard automotive series

The TransGuard Automotive Series are zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic semiconductor devices with non- linear, bi-directional voltage-current characteristics. They have the advantage of offering bi-directional overvoltage protection as well as EMI/RFI attenuation in a single SMT package. The Automotive Series high current and high energy handling capability make them well suited for protection against automotive related transients. KYOCERA AVX VG series parts (large case size, high energy) are glass encapsulated. These parts provide the same high reliability as traditional VC series parts. The glass encapsulation provides also enhanced resistance against harsh environment or process such as acids, salts, chlorite flux. Operating temperature: from -55ºC to +125ºC.
