It refers to the clamping voltage – the voltage level where the varistor starts conducting to suppress the surge, here around 100V.
>
Yes, it is fully compliant with RoHS directives, including lead-free termination plating.
>
Near the power input or signal interface, before the sensitive ICs, to clamp surges immediately upon entry.
>
Typical devices can handle thousands of small transients, but only a limited number of high-energy surges.
>
Yes, it’s suitable for ESD and load dump protection in low-voltage automotive circuits (12V/24V systems).
