Device Ratings and Specifications
NOTES:
1. Power dissipation of transients not to exceed 0.25W.
2. Energy rating for impulse duration of 30ms minimum to one half of peak current value.
3. Also rated to withstand 24V for 5 minutes.
4. All Littelfuse CH Series Varistors are recognized under UL file #E320116 as a recognized component.
5. The Typical Capacitance is for reference only
Current, Energy and Power Derating Curve
Continuous power dissipation capability is not an applicable
design requirement f
or a suppressor, unless transients
occur in rapid succession. Under this condition, the
average power dissipation required is simply the energy
(watt-seconds) per pulse times the number of pulses
per second. The power so developed must be within
the specifications shown on the Device Ratings and
Specifications Table for the specific device. Furthermore,
the operating values need to be derated at high tempera
tures as shown in this diagram. Because varistors can only
dissipate a relatively small amount of average power they
are, therefore, not suitable for repetitive applications that
involve substantial amounts of average power dissipation.
