Varistors are also known as Voltage Dependent Resistors (VDR). They are two-terminal components, which have a nonlinear resistance against voltage. It exhibits a high resistance value at low voltages and a lower resistance at high voltages. The V18ZS05PX2855 varistor has a voltage ranges from 5 to 18V. It has a surge current of 5A and peak pulse current of 10A.

The working principle of the V18ZS05PX2855 varistor is based on the voltage-dependent resistive junction formed by its two electrodes. The varistor\'s electrical resistance exhibits a non-linear change over the voltage range of the device. This phenomenon is known as the varistor effect. The device works as a short circuit at lower voltages and absorbs significant energy when the voltage exceeds the device\'s breakdown level. As a result, the device can be used for making circuits noise free, and provide protection against over-voltage. It can also be used for filter circuits, AC power line protection, and transient voltage suppressors.

V18ZS05PX2855 varistors have many advantages compared to other components. It is a device with low cost, low capacitance, high energy absorption, bidirectional design, high tolerance to high temperature and humidity, high surge current and low leakage. It\'s ideal for protecting sensitive electronic circuits against high voltage transients.
