TDK launches ultra compact chip varistors with a durable diameter of 14 mm
2022-08-27
TDK launched the new EPCOS b72314s2 * series (Advanced S14 compact) lead chip varistors. The working voltage range covered by the new series of components is 175 VRMs to 625 VRMs. The maximum impulse current capacity of single pulse current (8 / 20 µ s) is up to 6000 a, and it can withstand multiple impulse currents up to 3000 a under the condition of 8 / 20 µ s. It has obtained the UL 1449 fourth edition type 5 component certification.



One of the highlights of the new element is that it is smaller than the similar S14 advanced element, but its performance is equivalent. The diameter of the sheet element varies from 13 to 14 mm, which is about 3 mm less than the advanced S14 series. The new components also have a synthetic resin coating with a flame retardant rating of UL 94 V-0. In addition, siov varistors have also obtained UL, CSA, VDE and IEC certification.

With its compact size and excellent electrical specifications, advanced S14 compact varistors are widely used in home appliances, smart meters, inverters and other applications, and can help save space.
