Bourns IsoMOV Hybrid Protection Components

Bourns introduces its hybrid technology that combines the breakthrough surge performance of EdgMOV™ protection devices with an integrated Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) isolation structure to create the innovative IsoMOV™ Series Hybrid Protection Component. By combining the best features of both MOV and GDT technologies into a single component, the IsoMOV™ Series achieves high performance as a long life protector with lower capacitance, very low leakage and superb energy handling density. The IsoMOV™ Series is ideally suited for AC and DC power applications where premium performance and/or space savings are required.
