The V0603MHS03H is a transient voltage surge suppressor and as one of many products in a complete series, it offers reliable and robust protection bringing state-of-the-art technology to the market. Specifically, this product is a lowcapacitance subminiature Varistor. Varistors are designed to absorb the energy associated with short duration, high-voltage transients, thus protecting sensitive and expensive electronic equipment from severe damage.

A varistor, also known as a voltage-dependent resistor (VDR), is an electronic component with electrical properties that vary with the applied voltage. They are widely used in electronics to protect circuits from high voltages or surges. Varistors are typically made up of a ceramic material with a high resistivity which is sandwiched between two metal plates. When a surge of electricity gets applied to the varistor, the resistance of the ceramic material increases, thus protecting other parts of the circuit from the surge.

The V0603MHS03H device offers advantages over other previously available subminiature Varistors, such as higher current handling capability, higher surge absorption capability and a lower population of surges that cannot be absorbed. The device encapsulation is based on epoxy resin, comprised of Polymer Coated Ceramic which is used for better damping of acoustic noise and better high-frequency performance. This device is also characterized by a low capacitance as well as low leakage current, allowing for wide application potential and providing more suitable for high-speed signal transmission and circuits with sensitive timing constraints.

The V0603MHS03H is designed primarily for the protection of data terminal equipment used in telecommunications systems and computer applications. In addition, it can also be used to protect communications circuits in consumer electronics, automotive, communication systems, industrial, aerospace and more. The maximum working voltages of the device is rated at between 6.0V to 60V with the maximum surge rating of 27.5A at 10x1000μs for the typical device.

The operating principle of a varistor is based on the non-linear behavior of a semiconductor diode, or a bi-directional diode, which means that when the voltage applied to it exceeds a certain critical value, the diode will turn on and start to conduct current. The resistance of the diode will then depend on the voltage applied, such that higher voltages lead to lower resistance and vice versa. This non-linear behavior of the device allows it to absorb the energy from a voltage surge, thereby protecting other parts of the circuit from being damaged.

The V0603MHS03H provides excellent protection from high-voltage transients, offering superior performance in the areas of clamping, compatibility, and durability. Its robust design of epoxy resin and its high surge absorption capability make it ideal for protecting sensitive and expensive electronic equipment and circuits from transient voltage surges. Furthermore, its low capacitance and low leakage current make it suitable for high-speed signal transmission, thus providing an ideal solution for applications in the telecommunications and computer industries as well as in automotive, communication systems, industrial, aerospace and other similar industries.
