Technical Specifications

The ZNRV10471U typically has a varistor voltage around 470V. The maximum surge current rating depends on factors such as the surge waveform and the number of applied surges; always consult the Panasonic datasheet for specific values. The clamping voltage determines the voltage level to which the transient voltage is limited. It usually comes in a disc-shaped package with radial leads for easy PCB mounting. The energy absorption capability specifies the amount of energy the varistor can absorb before failure, and this is another critical specification.

Always refer to the official Panasonic datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics, surge current ratings, derating curves, and safety information before using the ZNRV10471U in any application.
