VC040205X150WP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The VC040205X150WP is a TransGuard multilayer ceramic varistor from Kyocera AVX, designed for transient voltage suppression in compact electronic circuits. It features a typical varistor voltage of 8.5V with a minimum of 6.8V and maximum of 10.2V, providing bidirectional overvoltage protection for low-voltage DC and AC applications up to 5.6V DC and 4V AC.

 

This varistor can handle peak surge currents up to 20A and absorbs transient energy up to 0.05J, making it suitable for ESD protection and small-scale surge suppression. It offers a capacitance of 175 pF at 1 MHz, which also provides EMI/RFI filtering benefits. The device operates over a wide temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

 

The component is housed in a standard 0402 (1005 metric) surface mount package with Ni/Sn plated terminations, compatible with automated assembly processes. It is RoHS3 compliant and has an MSL of 1 (unlimited floor life). Typical applications include IC protection, I/O ports, portable devices, and keyboard protection.
