AUML Varistor Series
Description
RoHS
The AUML Series of Multilayer Transient Surge Suppressors
was specifically designed to suppress the destructive
transient voltages found in an automobile. The most common
transient condition results from large inductive energy
discharges. The electronic systems in the automobile, e.g.
antilock brake systems, direct ignition systems, engine
control, airbag control systems, wiper motor controls, etc.,
are susceptible to damage from these voltage transients and
thus require protection. The AUML transient suppressors
have temperature independent suppression characteristics
affording protection from -55ºC to 125ºC.

The AUML suppressor is manufactured from semiconducting
ceramics which offer rugged protection and excellent
transient energy absorption in a small package. The devices
are available in ceramic leadless chip form, eliminating lead
inductance and assuring fast speed of response to transient
surges. These Suppressors require significantly smaller
space and land pads than Silicon TVS diodes, offering greater
circuit board layout flexibility for the designer.

Multilayer Suppressors.

NOTES: 1. Average power dissipation of transients not to exceed 0.1W, 0.15W, 0.3W and 1W for model sizes 1206, 1210, 1812 and 2220 respectively.
2. Load dump :min. time of energy input 40ms, interval 60sec(the load dump time constant Td differs from the time constant of energy input; load dump rating for ISO 7637-2 pulse
5a, please contact littelfuse.
3. Thermal shock capability per Mil-Std-750, Method 1051: -55ºC to 125ºC, 5 minutes at 25ºC, 25 Cycles: 15 minutes at each extreme.
4. For application specific requirements, please contact Littelfuse.
Current, Energy and Power Derating Curve
When transients occur in rapid succession, the average
power dissipation is the energy (watt-seconds) per pulse
times the number of pulses per second. The power so
developed must be within the specifications shown on the
Device Ratings and Characteristics Table for the specific
device. Certain parameter ratings must be derated at high
temperatures as shown below.
