Additional Details

The POZ3AN-1-102N-T01 has a voltage rating suitable for protecting circuits operating at specific DC voltages. The exact clamping voltage and surge current withstanding capability will vary based on the specific datasheet of the part. These varistors are constructed using a zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic material. They exhibit a non-linear voltage-current characteristic, meaning that their resistance decreases significantly when the voltage exceeds a certain threshold, diverting the surge current away from the protected components. The T01 suffix may indicate a specific packaging or termination style; refer to the datasheet for precise details.
