ZV Series Varistors Now Available with Nickel Barrier Terminations



RALEIGH, NC – The ZV Series of SMD multilayer varistors is now available with nickel barrier terminations. Nickel barrier terminations are compatible with most manufacturing processes and are easier to work with than palladium silver terminations. This enhancement makes the ZV Series a great choice for transient voltage protection for a wider variety of low voltage applications.



Applications:

• ASIC inputs

•Â Controllers

•Â Medical devices and instrumentation

•Â Audio circuitry and preamps

•Â Security systems

•Â LCDs

•Â Optics and opto-isolators

KEKO VARICON continues the tradition of ceramic electronic components started by Iskra Group 50 years ago. KEKO VARICON headquartered in Zuzemberk, Slovenia, has produced over-voltage protection devices for more than 15 years. Its name was derived from "VARistor" and "CONdensator", the old term for a capacitor. Today, KEKO VARICON is a leading supplier of over-voltage protection devices to many of the top electronics companies throughout the world. KEKO VARICON and SEI have formed a strategic alliance to jointly promote the sale of KEKO's products throughout North America.
