V240CH8T Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The V240CH8T is a CH Series surface mount varistor from Littelfuse Inc. It is designed for transient surge suppression in a variety of applications from low voltage DC to off-line board-level protection.

Key electrical specifications include a maximum AC voltage rating of 150 V and a maximum DC voltage rating of 200 V. The varistor voltage is 240 V typical (measured at 1 mA DC), with a minimum of 212 V and maximum of 268 V. The device can handle a peak pulse current of 250 A (8/20 µs waveform) and an energy rating of 5 J (10/1000 µs waveform). Typical capacitance is 100 pF at 1 MHz.

The varistor is housed in a 2-SMD, no lead package and is surface mountable. It operates over a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The component is RoHS compliant. This varistor is suitable for use in power supplies, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics requiring transient protection.
