Technical Application of EMC Composite Varistor-Capacitor Filter

1. Product Overview

  In high-interference environments such as automotive electronics, power tools, and smart appliances, EMC requirements are increasingly stringent. Traditional EMI suppression methods face limitations in response time, surge capacity, and integration.

  The EMC composite varistor-capacitor filter integrates a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) and a Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) into one package, offering both surge protection and high-frequency filtering for enhanced electromagnetic compatibility.

1. Product Overview

2. Working Principle and Structural Advantages

  MOV: Exhibits high impedance during normal operation; instantly conducts and clamps surge voltages upon overvoltage detection.

  MLCC: Suppresses EMI noise and smooths high-frequency disturbances across a wide frequency range.

  Modular Design: Supports SMD or through-hole configurations, ensuring flexible layout and robust performance.
