Overview KEMET's VM series of dual function protective devices protect against voltage surges in an automotive voltage region and against radio frequency noise. This component replaces two components a low voltage varistor and a capacitor. Applications Typical applications include the protection against voltage transients and suppression of radio-frequency interference in automobile electronics including wiper motors, central locking systems, seat adjustment motors, seat heating and electric window systems. KEMET's VM series incorporate a varistor function in automotive applications in a voltage region of 12 V, 24 V and 42 V and a function of a radio-frequency filtering capacitor in a high capacitance range from 0.47 to 1.5 µf, making them ideal for protection in automobile electronic applications. KEMET's VM series are square shaped components with inline leads and require at least 30% less mounting space.

Soldering Very often before soldering through-hole components, their leads get bent. It is important not to damage the component during lead bending. Typical damage incurred during bending is cracks in epoxy parts, which can lead to increased humidity sensitivity of a component and consequentially to a shorter life time. In order to avoid epoxy parts damage it is necessary to: fix the most sensitive point (epoxy parts) of a component body bend the wire at least 2 mm below the end of epoxy parts Other potential damage to a component which can lead to component failure or a shorter life time is thermal shock during manual soldering with a soldering iron. This can occur in the case when a soldering iron is placed too close to one point of the component body and most often it happens if the solder joint is too close to the varistor body. Resistance to Soldering Heat In the case of automatic wave soldering, it is important to provide sufficient resistance to soldering heat. In order to prevent any potential problems the standard for testing the resistance to soldering heat of through-hole components is 300 C, 10s. Pb-free Wave Soldering Profile Recommendations Recommended soldering profiles for all above components are in accordance with JEDEC standard curves (J-STD-020D) and therefore compatible with the new Pb-free process. 7

It is an exponentially decaying positive voltage which occurs in the event of a battery disconect while the alternator is still generating charging current with other loads remaining on the alternator circuit at the time of battery disconect Maximum peak current which may be applied for a single 8/20 μs pulse, with, rated line voltage also applies, without causing device failure Maximum average power which may be dissipated due to a group of pulses occurring within a specified isolated time period, without causing device failure at 25 C Capacitance C Capacitance between two terminals of the varistor measured at at 1 khz Response Time tr The time lag between application of a surge and varistor's "turn-on" conduction action Varistor Voltage Temperature TC (V n at 85 C V n at 25 C)/(V n at 25 C) x 60 C) x 100 Coefficient Insulation Resistance IR Minimum resistance between shorted terminals and varistor surface Isolation Voltage The maximum peak voltage which may be applied under continuous operating conditions between the varistor terminations and any conducting mounting surface Operating Temperature The range of ambient temperature for which the varistor is designed to operate continuously as defined by the temperature limits of its climatic category Climatic Category LCT/UCT/DHD UCT = Upper Category Temperature the maximum ambient temperature for which a varistor has been designed to operate continuously, LCT = Lower Category Temperature the minimum ambient temperature at which a varistor has been designed to operate continuously DHD = Dump Heat Test Duration Storage Temperature Storage temperature range without voltage applied 11
