EPCOS / TDK MT40 Thermofuse Varistors

EPCOS / TDK MT40 Thermofuse Varistors feature a DC voltage range of 200V to 750V, an AC voltage range of 150V to 550V, and a high peak surge current of up to 50kA. The MT Thermofuse series provides a normally open micro-switch for a remote indication/monitoring circuit. These compact EPCOS / TDK metal oxide varistors are ideal for industrial power supplies, inverters, outdoor lighting systems, and telecommunication systems.
