1 RoHS Pb The MA Series of transient surge suppressors are axial-lead metal-oxide varistors (MOs) for use in a wide variety of board level industrial and commercial electronic equipment. They are intended to protect components and signal/data lines from low energy transients where the small axial lead package is required. The MA Series is offered with standard (S suffix) or tightened (B suffix) clamping voltage. See MA Series Device Ratings and Specifications table for part number and brand information. Features 3mm Diameter Disc Size Small Package Wide Operating oltage Range M(AC)RMS...9 to 64 M(DC)...3 to 365 Available in Tape and Reel or Bulk Packaging No Derating Up to 85 o C Ambient New black epoxy offers improved performance for high temperature lead-free wave soldering process.

Power Dissipation Ratings Should transients occur in rapid succession, 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 temperatures as shown in Figure. 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.

SURGE RATING CURES FOR MA SERIES - 4MA SERIES NOTE: If pulse ratings are exceeded, a shift of N(DC) (at specified current) of more than ±% could result. This type of shift, which normally results in a decrease of N(DC), may result in the device not meeting the original published specifications, but it does not prevent the device from continuing to function, and to provide ample protection.
