Its compliance with the AEC-Q200 automotive electronics industry standard makes it ideal for use in both the vehicle’s passenger compartment and under-the-hood applications. The AUMOV™ Series offers a wide voltage range of 16VDC to 50VDC and is available in five disc sizes: 5mm, 7mm, 10mm, 14mm, and 20mm. The AUMOV Series Varistor provides motor or inductive load transient suppression for automotive safety systems, body electronics, powertrain systems, thermal management/HVAC systems, and infotainment systems.

“The AUMOV Series Varistor provides an ideal circuit protection solution for lower DC voltage automotive applications, whether they’re located in the vehicle’s passenger compartment or under the hood,” said Johnny Chang, product manager of the AUMOV Series Varistor product line.

“The phenolic coating option makes them particularly suitable for use in harsh under-hood environments with operating temperatures up to 125°C.”

Benefits:

－ High peak surge current rating and energy absorption capability protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients induced by load dump, jump starts, and other large voltage spikes from the inductive generator.

－ Compliance with AEC-Q200 Table 10, ISO 7637-2, and UL 1449 standards means varistors meet important automotive electronics industry requirements.

－ Production in a TS16949-certified manufacturing facility ensures consistently high quality devices.
