Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product
Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product
(Chip-type laminated varistor : Automotive grade)
Safety measures
■ An in-vehicle chip-type laminated varistor (hereinafter “the product” or “the varistor”) is intended for use in general-purpose
and standard applications, such as electrostatic control/noise suppression in in-vehicle equipment. The varistor may
deteriorate in performance or fail (short or open mode) when used improperly.
■ If the varistor in short mode is used, applied voltage may cause a large current to flow through the varistor. Consequently,
the varistor heats up and may burn the circuit board. An abnormal state of the varistor that results from a problem with its
service conditions (use environment, design conditions, mounting conditions, etc.) may lead to, in a worst case scenario,
burnout of the circuit board, serious accident, etc. Sufficiently check for what is described below before using the varistor.
Use environments and cleaning conditions
■ This product (varistor) is not designed for use in the specific environments described below. Using the product in such
specific environments or service conditions, therefore, may affect the performance of the product. Please check the
performance and reliability of the product first and then use the product.
(1) Used in liquid, such as water, oil, chemicals, and organic solvents.
(2) Used in a place exposed to direct sunlight, an outdoor place with no shielding, or a dusty place.
(3) Used in a place where the product is heavily exposed to sea breeze or a corrosive gas, such as Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2,
or NOX.
(4) Used in an environment where electromagnetic waves and radiation are strong.
(5) Located close to a heating component or a flammable material, such as a vinyl cable.
(6) Sealed or coated with a resin, etc.
(7) Solder flux of the soldered product is cleansed with a solvent, water, and a water-soluble cleaner (be careful with solder
flux soluble to water).
(8) Used in a place where dew concentrates on the product.
(9) Used in a contaminated state. (Example) Touching a varistor (with uncovered skin) mounted on a printed board leaves
sebum on the varistor. Do not handle the varistor in this manner.
(10) Used in a place where excessive vibration or impact is applied to the product.
■ Use the varistor within the range of its specified ratings/capabilities. Using the varistor under severe service conditions
that are beyond the specified ratings/capabilities causes degraded performance or destruction of the varistor, which may
lead to scattering of varistor fragments, smoke generation, ignition, etc. Do not use the varistor at a working
temperature or maximum allowable circuit voltage that exceeds the specified working temperature or maximum allowable
circuit voltage. Do not locate the varistor close to combustible materials.
■ In an improper cleaning solution, with which the varistor is cleaned, flux residues or other foreign matter may stick to the
surface of the varistor, which degrades the performance (insulation resistance, etc.) of the varistor. In a polluted cleaning
solution, the concentration of free halogen, etc., is high, and may result in poor/insufficient cleaning.
■ Improper cleaning conditions (insufficient cleaning or excessive cleaning) may impair the performance of the varistor.
(1) Insufficient cleaning
(a) A halogenous substance in flux residues may corrode a metal element, such as a terminal electrode.
(b) A halogenous substance in flux residues may stick to the surface of the varistor and lower its insulation resistance.
(c) Tendencies described in (a) and (b) may be more notable with water-soluble flux than with rosin-based flux.
Be careful about insufficient cleaning.
(2) Excessive cleaning
Ultrasonic waves that are too powerful from an ultrasonic cleaner cause the board to resonate, in which case the
vibration of the board may cause the varistor or a soldered part to crack or reduce the strength of the terminal
electrode. Keep power output from the ultrasonic cleaner at 20 W/L or lower, its ultrasonic frequency at 40 kHz or lower,
and an ultrasonic cleaning time at 5 minutes or less.
30-Jun-23
Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product
Response to anomalies and handling conditions
■ Do not apply excessive mechanical impact to the varistor. Because the varistor body is made of ceramic, drop impact to
the varistor readily damages or cracks the varistor. Once dropped on the floor, etc., the varistor may have lost its sound
quality and become failure-prone. Do not use said varistor.
■ When handling the board carrying the varistor, be careful not to let the varistor hit against another board. Take extra
caution when handling or storing a stack of boards carrying varistors. There are cases where a corner of a board will
hit against a varistor and damage or crack it, which may result in a failure of the varistor, such as a drop in its insulation
resistance. Do not reuse a varistor that has been used on and removed from a board.

Reliability
A capacitor conforming to "AEC-Q200" refers to a capacitor having passed some or all of evaluation test items defined
in AEC-Q200.
To know the detailed specifications of each capacitor or specific evaluation test scores, please contact us.
We issue a delivery specification sheet for each product ordered. Please confirm the delivery specification sheet when
you place an order with us.
Circuit design and circuit board design
■ A working temperature at which a varistor works in the circuit must be within the working temperature range specified in
the specification sheet. A temperature at which a varistor incorporated in the circuit is kept in storage without operating
must be within the storage temperature range specified in the specification sheet. Do not use the varistor at a higher
temperature than the maximum working temperature.
■ Keep voltage applied across the terminals of the varistor equal to or lower than the maximum allowable circuit voltage.
Applying improper voltage to the terminals may cause the varistor to fail or short-circuit thus generate heat. When using
the varistor in a circuit where high-frequency voltage or pulse voltage of an acute waveform is applied consecutively,
even if the applied voltage is lower than the rated voltage, confirm that the varistor is reliable enough to operate normally
in the circuit.
■ Ensure that the surface temperature of the varistor, which includes a temperature increment resulting from self-heating,
is equal to or lower than the highest working temperature specified in the delivery specification sheet. Check the
temperature of the varistor under the circuit conditions used in the operation state of the device in which the varistor is
incorporated.
■ Using the varistor on an alumina board has an expectation of performance degradation due to thermal impact
(temperature cycle). Before using the varistor, sufficiently confirm that the board does not affect the quality of the varistor.
Mounting conditions
■ The more solder deposited on the varistor, the greater the stress to the varistor, which leads to cracking of the varistor.
When designing a land on the board, determine the shape and dimensions of the land so that a proper volume of solder
is applied in the land. Design the land such that its left and right sides are equal in size. In a case where solder volumes
are different between the left and right sides of the land, a greater volume of solder takes more time to cool and solidify.
As a result, stress acts on one side which may crack the varistor.
(a) Too much solder (b) Proper volume of solder (c) Too little solder

・ Use solder resist to evenly distribute solder
volumes on the left and right sides.
・ When a component is located close to the
varistor, the varistor is mounted together with a
lead-attached component, or a chassis is
located close to the varistor, separate solder
patterns from each other using the solder resist.
* Refer to cases to avoid and recommended
examples shown on the right table.

of the varistor to the board, the warping of the
board may cause the varistor to crack. Place the
varistor so that stress caused by the warp is
negligible to the varistor.

Stress size
・ Mechanical stresses to the varistor near a breaking
A>B=C>D>E
line of the board vary depending on the mounting
position of the varistor. Refer to the figure on the
Perforated

right.
・ The varistor receives mechanical stresses different
in size when the board is broken by different
methods. The size of the stress the varistor
receives is smaller in the following order: pushing
