The LA Series of transient voltage surge suppressors are
radial leaded varistors (MOVs) that are designed to be
operated continuously across AC power lines. These UL
recognized varistors require very little mounting space,
and are offered in various standard lead form options.
The LA Series varistors are available in four model
sizes: 7mm, 10mm, 14mm and 20mm; and have a
V
voltage range from 130V to 1000V, and an
M(AC)RMS
energy absorption capability up to 360J. Some LA Series
model numbers are available with clamping voltage
selections, designated by a model number suffix of
either A or B. The 'A' selection is the standard model;
the 'B' selection provides a lower clamping voltage.
See LA Series Device Ratings and Specifications
Table for part number and brand information.

CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only
rating and operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is
not implied.
Should transients occur in rapid succession, the average
power dissipation is 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 of a MOV need to be derated
at high temperatures as shown above. Because varistors
only dissipate a relatively small amount of average power
they are not suitable for repetitive applications that involve
substantial amounts of average power dissipation.

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 does not prevent
the device from continuing to function, and to provide ample protection.
