Littelfuse MLA and AUML Series Surface Mount Multilayer Varistors provide robust transient voltage suppression for circuit protection. These varistors are designed to handle inductive switching, ESD, and surge voltage transients in a variety of industrial and automotive applications. The inherent bi-directional clamping and multilayer ceramic construction ensure reliable performance over a wide operating temperature range. The MLA Series operates from -40°C to +125°C, with a voltage range of 3.5V to 120V DC, while the AUML Series is AEC-Q200 compliant and offers load dump energy ratings per SAE J1113 standards. Both series are lead-free, RoHS compliant, and available in multiple compact chip sizes. These devices are suitable for protecting integrated circuits, transistors, and electronic systems in industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial automation.
