Quality electronic components that bring your company’s concepts to reality.

metal-oxide varistor (MOV), also known as a voltage-dependent resistor (VDR), is an electronic component designed to protect circuits from excessive transient voltages.

  • Varistors are used as control or compensation elements in circuits to provide optimal operating conditions or protect against excessive transient voltages.
  • When used for protection, they shunt the current created by excessive voltage away from sensitive components when triggered.
  • Varistors are used in surge protectors, power supplies, telecommunication equipment, and more.
