Instructions for Use:

1. Handling Precautions:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Avoid exposure to excessive humidity and temperature fluctuations.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking if used in high-power applications.
   • Use appropriate soldering techniques to avoid thermal shock.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the varistor in parallel with the circuit to be protected.
   • Ensure that the maximum continuous operating voltage does not exceed the rated V_RMS.

4. Pulse Handling:

   • The varistor is designed to handle peak pulse currents up to 47 A (8/20 μs waveform). Ensure that the pulse duration and frequency are within safe limits to prevent overheating and damage.

5. Environmental Considerations:

   • Operate within the specified temperature range to ensure reliable performance.
   • Store in a dry, cool place to prevent degradation.

6. Testing:

   • Test the varistor periodically to ensure it remains within specifications.
   • Use a multimeter to check for leakage current and breakdown voltage.

7. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the varistor according to local regulations for electronic components.
