Newly chip Varistor for surge current Sunlord
suppression EXPERT IN PASSIVE PARTS

The surge current and voltage caused by SMPS module or lighting which has
high energy may destroy the IC chip or telecommunication port. Therefore,
protection components should be set in the device to absorb the surge
current and voltage energy and protect the IC ship and telecommunication
module.

Based on this background, Sunlord has presented Chip Varistor for

surge current suppression — SDVL series.

¾ VDC: Working DC Voltage

This is the maximum continuous DC voltage which may be applied up to the
maximum operation temperature of the device and is also used as the reference
point for leakage current. This voltage is always less than the breakdown voltage
of device.

¾ VAC: Working AC Voltage

This is the maximum continuous sinusoidal RMS voltage which may be applied up
to the maximum operating temperature of the device.
¾ Il: Leakage Current at Rated DC Voltage
In the non-conduction mode, the device is at a very high impedance and appears
as an almost open circuit in the system. The leakage current drawn at this level is
very low.

¾ VB: Varistor Voltage

This is the voltage at which the device changes from the off-state to the on-state
and enters Its conduction mode of operation. The voltage is usually characterized
at the 1mA point and has a specified minimum and maximum voltage listed.
 Terms and descriptions Sunlord

¾ VC: Clamping Voltage

This is the peak voltage appearing across the suppressor when measured at
conditions of specified pulse current and specified waveform(8/20 or ESD
pulse). This is important to note the peak current and peak voltage may not
necessarily be coincidental in time.
¾ CP: Capacitance
This is capacitance of Varistor which is measured at frequency of 1MHz and
0.5V (AC voltage).
¾ IP: Maximum Surge Current
This is the maximum peak current which may be applied for an 8/20us impulse
with rated working voltage also applied, without causing device failure. The pulse
can be applied to the device in either polarity with the same confidence factor.
¾ ET: Maximum Surge Energy
This is the maximum rated transient energy which may be Dissipated for a
single current pulse at a specified impulse duration (10/1000us) with the rated
DC or RMS voltage applied, without causing device failure.

How to Choose Chip Varistor for surge Sunlord
current suppression EXPERT IN PASSIVE PARTS

¾ VWDC≥1.2 Vn, VWDC: max. working voltage of varistor;

¾ Vn: system rated voltage.

¾ Peak current of varistor (Ip) should exceed the impulse

current occurred in the circuit. （Generally, Ip ≥150A）

¾ Clamping voltage should be under the voltage that device to

be protected can stand for.
