TDK AVR series chip varistors for ESD protection can replace a zener diode and its capacitor, while offering the same or better response, leading to a smaller footprint and lower assembly costs. Varistors are available in a wide range of voltages and can withstand up to two times the voltage of zener diode solutions before experiencing a reduction in insulation resistance. The AVR series are available in metric case sizes from 0402 to 2012 and utilizes a zinc oxide body with palladium inner electrodes that delivers excellent absorption capability.TDK AVR varistors are available for consumer and automotive applications, and are ideal for use on HMIs and data interfaces.
