Littelfuse AUMOV® Series Varistors

The Littelfuse AUMOV® Varistor Series is designed for automotive applications requiring load dump, jump start and surge voltage transient protection.

The AUMOV® Series Varistor offers 50% greater surge withstanding capability than existing technologies on the market for low DC voltage applications. The maximum peak surge current is rated up to 5KA (8/20μs pulse) to protect sensitive automotive systems from voltage transients induced by load dump and other transient events.

Littelfuse AUMOV® Varistors provide an ideal circuit protection solution for lower DC voltage automotive applications, whether they’re located in the vehicle’s passenger compartment or under the hood. They are particularly suitable for use in harsh under-hood environments with operating temperatures up to 125°C.

Disc Sizes

This AEC-Q200 compliant series is available in five disc sizes: 5mm, 7mm, 10mm, 14mm and 20mm. It features a wide operating voltage range from 14VAC to 42VAC and 16VDC to 50VDC.
