MLA Varistor Series
Description
The MLA Series family of transient voltage surge
suppression devices is based on the Littelfuse Multilayer
fabrication technology. These components are designed
to suppress a variety of transient events, including those
specified in IEC 61000-4-2 or other standards used for
Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC). The MLA Series is
typically applied to protect integrated circuits and other
components at the circuit board level.
The wide operating voltage and energy range make the
MLA Series suitable for numerous applications on power
supply, control and signal lines.
The MLA Series is manufactured from semiconducting

ceramics, and is supplied in a leadless, surface mount
package. The MLA Series is compatible with modern
Metric EIA
reow and wave soldering procedures.
