Littelfuse/Commercial Vehicle Products

The LA Series of transient voltage surge suppressors are radial-lead varistors (MOVs) that are designed to be operated continuously across AC power lines. These UL recognized varistors require very little mounting space, and are offered in various standard lead form options. The LA Series varistors are available in four model sizes: 7mm, 10mm, 14mm, and 20mm; and have a V M(AC)RMS voltage range from 130V to 1000V, and an energy absorption capability up to 360J. Some LA series model numbers are available with clamping voltage selection, designated by a model number suffix of either A or B. The "A" selection is the standard model; the "B" selection provides a lower clamping voltage. See LA Series Device Ratings and Specifications table for part number and brand information.

The C-III Series of metal oxide varistors are specifically designed for high surge energy absorption ratings. This is achieved through a special dielectric material formulation which also results in higher repetitive surge ratings than other MOV types. The C-III series is primarily intended for use in AC line Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) product environment and other similar applications requiring high transient energy and peak current capability in a relatively small package size. The C-III series is supplied in 14 and 20mm disc versions with various lead options. These types are shipped in bulk or Tape and Reel packaging. Part number and brand information is provided in the Ratings Table.

The Littelfuse SM20 Series is a 20mm SMD metal oxide varistor device. The AC rated parts are designed to operate continuously across AC power lines. The DC rated parts are suitable for Automotive applications. The series comprises a Nylon molded package with folded tin plated metal leads for soldering to board. The SMD Series is based on radial 20mm internal varistor element with similar characteristics to the Littelfuse LA / ZA series of varistors.

CH series transient surge suppressors are small, metal-oxide varistors (MOVs) manufactured in leadless chip form. They are intended for use in a variety of applications from low voltage DC to off-line board-level protection. These devices, which have significantly lower profiles than traditional radial-lead varistors, permit designers to reduce the size and weight and increase the reliability of their equipment designs. Ch series varistors are available in a voltage range from 14V to 275V V M(AC)RMS , and energy ratings up to 23J.

The MA Series of Transient surge suppressors are axial-lead metal oxide varistors (MOVs) for use in a wide variety of board level industrial and commercial electronic equipment. They are intended to protect components and signal/data lines from low energy transients where the small axial lead package is required. The MA Series is offered with standard (S suffix) or tightened (B suffix) clamping voltage. See MA Series Device Ratins and Specifications table for part number and brand information.

The RA Series transient surge suppressors are varistors (MOVs) supplied in a low-profile box that features a precise seating plane to increase mechanical stability for secure circuit-board mounting. This feature makes these devices suitable for industrial applications critical to vibration. Their construction permits operation up to 125°C (ambient) without derating. The RA series are available in voltage ratings up to 275V V M(AC)RMS and energy levels up to 140J. These varistors are used in automotive, motor control, telecommunication, and military applications.

The ZA Series of transient voltage surge suppressors are radial-lead varistors (MOVs) designed for use in the protection of low and medium-voltage circuits and systems. Typical applications include motor control, telecom, automotive systems, solenoid, and power supply circuits to protect circuit board components and maintain data integrity. These devices are available in five model sizes: 5, 7, 10, 14, and 20mm, and feature a wide V DC voltage range of 5.5V to 615V. See ZA Series Device Ratings and Specifications table for part number and brand information.
