Conductive adhesive gluing

Only multilayer varistors (MLVs) with an AgPd termination are approved for conductive

adhesive gluing.

Operation

Use CTVS only within the specified operating temperature range.

Use CTVS only within specified voltage and current ranges.

Environmental conditions must not harm a CTVS. Only use them in normal atmospheric

conditions. Reducing the atmosphere (e.g. hydrogen or nitrogen atmosphere) is prohibited.

Prevent a CTVS from contacting liquids and solvents. Make sure that no water enters a CTVS

(e.g. through plug terminals).

Avoid dewing and condensation.

EPCOS CTVS components are mainly designed for encased applications. Under all

circumstances avoid exposure to:

direct sunlight

rain or condensation

steam, saline spray

corrosive gases

atmosphere with reduced oxygen content

EPCOS CTVS devices are not suitable for switching applications or voltage stabilization where

static power dissipation is required.

Multilayer varistors (MLVs) are designed for ESD protection and transient suppression.

CeraDiodes are designed for ESD protection only, ESD/EMI filters are designed for ESD and

EMI protection only.

This listing does not claim to be complete, but merely reflects the experience of EPCOS AG.
