Additional Details:

The V20E175P has a maximum allowable voltage of 175V AC. Its surge current capability depends on the waveform and number of applied surges. The operating temperature range is typically between -40°C and +85°C. This varistor is designed to clamp transient voltages at a specific level, diverting the surge current away from sensitive components. Consult the Littelfuse datasheet for detailed specifications and application guidelines. The component is constructed using a metal oxide ceramic material, which provides the necessary non-linear resistance characteristics required for transient voltage suppression. Its radial leaded package allows for through-hole mounting on PCBs.
