VC1206K201R030

KEMET · Varistors · 1206

VC1206K201R030 from KEMET, in a 1206. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Terminal 1 passive Ni/Sn barrier end termination of the bidirectional varistor, rated 30 Vrms / 38 VDC continuous with Vn 47 V at 1 mA, Vc 77 V at 1 A (8/20 µs) and Imax 200 A.
2 Terminal 2 passive Second Ni/Sn barrier end termination, interchangeable with the first, with the same 30 Vrms / 38 VDC rating and 1.2 J (10/1000 µs) single-pulse energy.
