201=20x101 =200VDC
AC Voltage for 34mm, 151=150VAC
(7) Tolerance

(8) Packaging
B: Bulk
For taped and lead conguration of taped parts,
see taping specications for sufx codes.
(9) Lead Configuration for Bulk Parts Only
S: For 34mm series denotes Standard Lead.
S: Straight (For varistor voltage ≤681K), and in-line
crimped(forvaristorvoltage>681K)for14,18,20&
25mm series.
L: In-line crimped (For varistor voltage ≤681K) for 14,
18,20&25mmseries.
N: Varistor voltage >681 come standard with in-line
crimp (see illustration below) for straight disc seating
on PC boards. If straight leads are required instead of
in-line crimp please use code “N” in this position, for
14,18,20&25mmseries.
(10) Suffix for Custom Types
X33: Alternative Design with 3mm Monitor Terminal
(34mm only). See Fuse Conguration & Dimensions
for 34mm for more information.

NOTES:
*For3leaded14mm,18mm,and20mmtypeswithin-linecrimp
monitor lead is straight. For 25mm round and rectangular types
monitor lead is in-line crimped.
**25mm (rectangle type) 3-leaded version has fuse located on the
third lead (same as 25mm round type).
***Stresses above those stated in Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress only
ratings and operation of the device at these or any other conditions
exceeding these ratings is not implied.
