V5.5MLA1206H

The ML series Surface Mount Multilayer Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) is family of transient voltage surge suppression device, based on the Littelfuse multilayer fabrication technology. This component is designed to suppress a variety of transient events, including those specified in IEC 61000-4-2 or other standards used for Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC). The ML Series is typically applied to protect integrated circuits and other components at the circuit board level. The wide operating voltage and energy range make the ML series suitable for numerous applications on power supply, control and signal lines. The ML series is manufactured from semiconducting ceramics and is supplied in a leadless, surface mount package. The ML series is compatible with modern reflow and wave soldering procedures. It can operate over a wider temperature range than Zener diodes and has a much smaller footprint than plastic housed components.
