The CP Series of transient voltage surge suppressors are metal-oxide varistors (MOVs) of tubular construction. These varistors are intended for mounting within a multipin connector assembly. This series is available in a wide range of voltage ratings from 6V to 150V VM(AC)RMS. Their internal dimensions allow them to be used with 16, 20, or 22 gauge connector pins. The unique coaxial mounting arrangement of these tubular varistors allow them to become part of a transmission line itself. Added inductive lead effects are eliminated.
