Additional Details

The POZ3AN-1-202N-T00 is constructed from a zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic material with a non-linear voltage-current characteristic. When the voltage across the varistor exceeds a predetermined threshold, its resistance rapidly decreases, diverting the surge current away from protected components. The '202N' portion of the part number indicates the specific voltage rating and capacitance value. The 'T00' suffix typically refers to a specific packaging or termination style suitable for automated assembly. Critical specifications to consider when selecting this varistor are its clamping voltage, surge current capability, capacitance, and leakage current. Consult the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed specifications and application guidelines to ensure optimal performance.
