NOTES:
2. MiniMOSORBt transient suppressors are normally selected according to the maximum working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), which
should be equal to or greater than the dc or continuous peak operating voltage level.
3. VBR measured at pulse test current IT at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
4. Surge current waveform per Figure 3 and derate per Figures 1 and 2.

UL RECOGNITION*
The entire series including the bidirectional CA suffix has
Underwriters Laboratory Recognition for the classification
of protectors (QVGV2) under the UL standard for safety
497B and File #E 116110. Many competitors only have one
or two devices recognized or have recognition in a
non-protective category. Some competitors have no
recognition at all. With the UL497B recognition, our parts
successfully passed several tests including Strike Voltage
Breakdown test, Endurance Conditioning, Temperature test,
Dielectric Voltage-Withstand test, Discharge test and
several more.
Whereas, some competitors have only passed a
flammability test for the package material, we have been
recognized for much more to be included in their protector
category.
