Mouser's Press Room

October 31, 2012 – Mouser Electronics, Inc. today announced it is stocking the new E series of EPCOS multilayer varistors, which will protect automotive electronics from current surge pulses.

TDK Corporation has extended its product range of EPCOS multilayer varistors with the new E series, designed to assure protection from current surge pulses in automotive electronics. This new series features high energy absorption capability and bidirectional clamping. Thanks to their innovative glass passivation, the SMD protection components that are qualified to AEC-Q200 with an extended stress test are even more rugged and reliable than before. The range of their operating voltages extends from 14V DC to 40V DC. In addition to greatly reduced leakage currents, the new components are characterized particularly by increased temperature stability up to +150°C. The electrical characteristics of these components remain stable even after exposure to repeated pulses. The portfolio has also been extended by large case sizes up to EIA 2220. The components of the B725*E* series are lead-free and RoHS-compatible.
