ZIF connectors lock securely
Locking feature prevents accidental removal of the cable in the field and delivers uncreased robustness against vibration.
Zinc oxide is used in the construction of SMD varistors.
The conductive properties of this material can be altered by chemical interaction with the resins, varnishes and flux residues present during PCB assembly.
With its newly developed glass-passivated surface, the AVX VJ series can now overcome this problem by avoiding any such interaction.
Available in case sizes ranging from 1206 to 2220, these ISO7637-capable varistors provide overvoltage protection and are specified with a high energy rating.
They operate over the temperature range -55 to +125C.
The VJ series is suitable for a range of applications, including automotive, security, measurement and medical equipment.
