The EPCOS (TDK) 588613 is a surface mount varistor disc manufactured by EPCOS, a subsidiary of TDK. Varistors, also known as Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), are voltage-dependent resistors that act like a safety valves for electrical circuits. A surface mount component that protects electronic circuits from transient voltage spikes and surges.
Benefits
- Protects delicate circuitry from harmful voltage spikes.
- Small footprint due to the surface mount design, ideal for space-limited applications.
- Passive component, requiring no external control circuitry for operation.
Applications
- Power Supplies
- Consumer Electronics
- Industrial Equipment
- Automotive applications to safeguard against potential voltage transients and damage.
