Varistors are essential components in the field of surge protection that are used in various electronic applications. There are two main types of varistors on the market: metal oxide varistors (MOV) and multilayer varistors. Metal oxide varistors are particularly popular for their ability to absorb high transient voltage peaks, making them ideal for protecting household appliances and industrial equipment.
Multilayer varistors, on the other hand, are predestined for use in mobile devices and other miniature applications due to their compact design and excellent performance at lower voltages. In addition to the standard products offered, manufacturers and distributors also offer customized solutions to meet specific requirements in terms of voltage levels, energy capacity and form factors.
This flexibility allows developers and engineers to select the optimal surge protection for their specific project. By combining standard products with the ability to develop customized varistors, suppliers can cover a wide range of applications to meet a variety of customer needs.
