Automotive AEC-Q200 SMT Multilayer Varistors - AUML Series

Littelfuse's AUML series of multilayer varistors are designed to protect against destructive transient voltages in automobiles

Image of Littelfuse's AUML Series Multilayer VaristorsLittelfuse's AUML series of multilayer transient surge suppressors is specifically designed to suppress the destructive transient voltages found in an automobile. The most common transient condition results from large inductive energy discharges. The electronic systems in the automobile, e.g. antilock brake systems, direct ignition systems, engine control, airbag control systems, wiper motor controls, etc., are susceptible to damage from these voltage transients and thus require protection. The AUML transient suppressors have temperature independent suppression characteristics affording protection from -55°C to +125°C.

The AUML suppressor is manufactured from semiconducting ceramics which offer rugged protection and excellent transient energy absorption in a small package. The devices are available in ceramic leadless chip form, eliminating lead inductance and assuring fast speed of response to transient surges. These suppressors require significantly smaller space and land pads than silicon TVS diodes, offering greater circuit board layout flexibility for the designer.
