The bidirectional AQxxC-01FTG series is designed to replace multilayer varistors (MLVs) in electronic equipment for low speed and DC applications. It will protect any sensitive equipment from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other transient events.
The AQxxC-01FTG series can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes of ±30 kV (contact and air discharge as defined in IEC 61000-4-2) without any performance degradation. Additionally, the AQ05C can safely conduct a 30A 8/20 surge event as defined in IEC 61000-4-5 2nd Edition.
