EATON EATON Multilayer Varistor ESD MLVB and MLVA-R Series

EATON Bussmann MLVB and MLVA-R Series of multilayer varistors are designed to protect electronic circuits from ESD damage. The MLVB Series has the low capacitance necessary to protect a wide range of data speeds, including protection against high speed transient voltages.

The MLVA-R is suitable for push button, power line and low frequency overvoltage protection. With its small, standardized 0201, 0402 and 0603 sizes, it’s easy to implement them into any circuit board design.

Features

MLVB

  • Zinc oxide based ceramic chip
