ZR series (Low voltage general purpose type)
The general-purpose disc type ZR series is best suited as an element to protect electronic equipment, control equipment, and general electronic devices from a surge and a noise as a varistor for low pressure.
- features
- This varistor is excellent in voltage nonlinearity and can suppress the clamping voltage at a low level.
- The voltage-current characteristic of this varistor is symmetrical, and accordingly, this varistor can handle a surge with both positive and negative polarities and can be used for an AC circuit.
- This varistor is compact but has high surge resistance, and accordingly this varistor is stable for repeated surges.
- This varistor responds quicker and less follow current in comparison with a discharging protection element.
- Small temperature coefficient
- Wide serviceable voltage range
- High reliability
- Applications
- Protection from instantaneous overvoltage of various semiconductors
- Protection from an inductive lightning surge caused by wiring and communication lines
- Protection from a switching surge caused by relays or the like
- For stabilizing voltage

NS series (Mid and high pressure purpose type)
The MNR varistor is a ceramic semiconductor made from zinc oxide as a main ingredient and several kinds of additives, which is manufactured in the well-managed processes.
This series is excellent in voltage nonlinearity, surge resistance, and responsiveness to a surge, and also has a characteristic of low clamping voltage. Therefore, this varistor can be used in a wide range of applications, including as measures against a surge for various types of electronic equipment, a device of absorbing a switching surge caused by an inductive load, and a device protecting from abnormal voltage.
- features
- This varistor is excellent in voltage nonlinearity and can suppress the clamping voltage at a low level.
