Description

The RP23256-2501 is an electronic component model in the IC Chips product category. It is a thermally protected varistor developed by Littelfuse. This varistor is designed with an integrated thermally activated element that opens in the event of overheating due to abnormal overvoltage and limited current conditions. It complies with UL1449 standards for both cord connected and permanently connected applications. The RP23256-2501 varistor offers quick thermal response and improved clamping performance to fast overvoltage transients. It is also wave solderable, making it easier for end product assembly.
