Obsolete: 2006-08-04 PA Series - Base Mount Varistor

The PA Series of transient surge suppressors are metal-oxide varistors (MOVs) featuring a rigid base mount package construction, and are useful in applications which are subject to vibration.
  • The UL and CSA recognized varistors are available in a wide range of operating voltages, from 130V to 660 V V M(AC)RMS .
  • The base-mount package has a quick-connect tab terminal that provides a fast, secure lead attach.
  • The mounting base forms the second electrical connection, usually chassis ground.
Meeting rigid NEMA standards, PA series varistors have a creep and strike distance capability that minimizes breakdown along the package surface.
