Product description
The EHV6* series was specially designed to meet the strictest protection requirements. An optimized design
features a high level of protection against fast rising transients usually caused by lightning disturbance. For use
in high-frequency applications the series offers ultra-low capacitance and shows only marginal signal losses up
to high frequencies. The devices are extremely reliable and are able to withstand high surge currents without
destruction.
All tubes are produced to ISO TS 16949 standard together with products that have been in use in automotive
applications for almost 20 years. The arresters are tested by automotive standards like IEC 60068 and can
sustain high humidity environments and heavy vibration while maintaining full operability at all times. They can
withstand high AC voltages without ignition. The EPCOS EHV series is fully UL graded and can be delivered for
many different voltage levels as well as in different wire configurations.
