Description
The DHB34 Series of transient surge suppressors is
comprised of two industrial high-energy Metal-Oxide
Varistors (MOVs) discs placed in parallel as a single device.
They are designed to provide surge suppression in the
AC mains outdoor and service entrance environment
(distribution panels) of buildings. DHB34 applications
also include industrial heavy motors, controls, and power
supplies such as used in the oil-drilling, mining, and
transportation fields, including HVAC and motor/generator
applications.
The DHB34 Series provides rigid terminals for throughhole solder mounting on printed circuit boards, thereby
eliminating the need for screw mounting.

Power Dissipation Ratings
Figure 1
Should transients occur in rapid succession, the average
power 100 dissipation result is simply the energy
(watt-seconds) per pulse times the number of pulses
per second. The power so developed must be within
the specifications shown on the Device Ratings and
Specifications table for the specific device. The operating
values must be derated as shown in above.

NOTE: If pulse ratings are exceeded, a shift of V
+/-10% could result. This type of shift, which normally results in a decrease of V
result in the device not meeting the original published specifications, but it does not
prevent the device from continuing to function, and to provide ample protection.
