• Helps to meet regulatory requirements for surge protection.

Additional Details

The S14K115 has a varistor voltage of 180V (V<sub>DC) and 115V (V<sub>RMS). The maximum surge current is dependent on the pulse duration and number of pulses, but it is generally high. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. The 'S14' designation refers to the disk size (14mm). This varistor is commonly used in applications where moderate surge protection is needed. Consult the datasheet for specific surge current ratings and other electrical characteristics.
