This document introduces the features and characteristics of EPCOS CT series ceramic transient voltage suppressors, including ESD protection, surge current, bidirectional protection, no derating, fast response, RoHS compliance, CT version suitable for lead-free soldering
This handbook describes EPCOS multilayer varistors (MLVs) of the Standard series, covering construction, case sizes, and termination options. It includes technical data such as voltage ratings, surge current capability, and temperature limits, as well as RoHS compliance and lead‑free soldering guidance.
The document also lists ordering codes for both CT (nickel‑barrier) and CN (silver‑palladium) terminations, presents characteristic curves, and gives handling and environmental precautions for reliable use in ESD protection and transient suppression applications.
