Metal Oxide Varistors

RGA Varistor
Varistors are voltage dependent, nonlinear devices which
have an electrical behavior similar to back-to-back zener diodes.
RGA series zinc oxide varistors are nonlinear resistors,
consisting mainly of zinc oxide and several kinds of metal
oxide additives. They are bilateral and symmetrical V-1
characteristics curve and unparalleled large peak current
capabilities are used for absorption of transient voltage,
suppression of pulse noise and circuit voltage stabilization.

Features
Fast response
Excellent voltage ratio
High stabilization for circuit voltage
Unparalleled absorption for transient voltage characteristics
Bilateral and symmetrical V-1 characteristics curve

Applications
Surge Protection in consumer electronics
industrial electronics
telephone and telecommunication systems
automobile equipment
measuring and controller systems
electronic home appliances
gas and petroleum appliances
Absorption of switching surge from various kinds of relays
and electro-magnetic valves.
Electrostatic discharge and spike noise suppression.
Protection of various kinds of transistors, diodes, ICs,
thyristors, triac semiconductors, etc.
Automobile control system such as transistorized ignition
system and electronic fuel injection system, etc.
