Small-signal device The MA26V17 is a varistor manufactured by Panasonic. Below are the specifications, descriptions, and features based on the available knowledge:
### **Specifications:**
- **Type:** Varistor (Metal Oxide Varistor - MOV)
- **Model:** MA26V17
- **Maximum Allowable Voltage (AC):** 17V (RMS)
- **Maximum Allowable Voltage (DC):** 22V
- **Clamping Voltage (at 1mA DC):** 44V (max)
- **Peak Current (8/20μs):** 100A
- **Energy Absorption (2ms):** 0.5J
- **Operating Temperature Range:** -40°C to +85°C
- **Capacitance (1kHz, 1Vrms):** 1000pF (typical)
- **Lead Material:** Tin-plated copper
- **Package Type:** Radial leaded disc
### **Descriptions:**
- The MA26V17 is a voltage-dependent resistor designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage surges and transient spikes.
- It is part of Panasonic's MA series of varistors, which are widely used in power supplies, communication devices, and automotive electronics.
- The varistor exhibits a high resistance at normal operating voltages but rapidly decreases resistance when the voltage exceeds a threshold, diverting excess current.
### **Features:**
- **Surge Protection:** Effectively suppresses transient voltage spikes.
- **Fast Response Time:** Reacts quickly to overvoltage conditions.
- **High Energy Absorption:** Capable of handling short-duration high-energy pulses.
- **Stable Performance:** Reliable operation under varying environmental conditions.
- **Compact Design:** Radial leaded package for easy PCB mounting.
