TDK Epcos B722 Metal Oxide Varistor, 23J, 300V ac

The TDK Epcos B722 Standard series is a range of high-quality, round-shaped radial leaded SIOV metal oxide varistors (MOVs). These robust components are designed for circuit protection, offering a wide operating voltage range from 11V_RMS to 1100V_RMS. They function as control or compensation elements, ensuring optimal operating conditions and safeguarding sensitive electronic equipment from damaging transient voltage spikes.

The voltage-dependent characteristics of these varistors make them exceptionally effective at clamping excessive voltage surges. With high surge current ratings up to 8 kA and a broad peak energy range from 0.3J to 410J, they provide reliable protection in demanding environments. This particular model offers a substantial peak energy rating of 23 joules and is approved to major international safety standards, including UL, CSA, VDE, CQC, and IEC.
