Kyocera AVX Multilayer ZnO SMT Varistor, 1A Clamping, 42V, Surface Mount, VC080518C400DP

The Kyocera AVX VC080518C400DP is a multilayer ZnO ceramic surface mount varistor engineered for high-reliability surge protection in electronic circuits. With a clamping current rating of 1A and a clamping voltage of 42V, this varistor is ideally suited for safeguarding sensitive components against transient overvoltages.

Utilizing advanced TransGuard® technology, the VC080518C400DP features copper clad steel leads with solder coated finish for superior electrical connectivity and automated placement on surface mount PCBs. Its compact dimensions - 2.01mm length, 1.02mm height, and 1.25mm depth - enable integration into densely populated boards often found in modern electronic devices.

Designed for durability, the varistor supports a maximum surge current of 100A and provides a maximum AC voltage rating of 13V ac and DC voltage rating of 18V dc. The energy rating of 0.3J offers efficient absorption of voltage spikes, minimizing risk of component damage during electrical events.

This model operates reliably in ambient environments ranging up to 125°C, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics that require robust overvoltage protection. The surface mount configuration further allows for compatibility with automated production lines, enhancing throughput and reducing installation errors.

Applications for the Kyocera AVX VC080518C400DP include power management modules, industrial controllers, consumer electronics, communication systems, and other sensitive circuitry requiring surge protection and transient suppressors. Its multilayer ceramic construction ensures consistent performance and long-term reliability.
