The XE104-Z (15MM) is a surge absorber, specifically a metal oxide varistor (MOV), manufactured by Okaya Electric America, Inc. This device is designed to protect electronic circuits from transient voltage surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes, inductive load switching, or electrostatic discharge (ESD). The "15MM" likely refers to the diameter of the varistor.

Applications:

• Power supplies
• Surge protectors
• Industrial equipment
• Telecommunications equipment
• Consumer electronics

Features:

• High surge current capability
• Fast response time
• Voltage clamping characteristic
• Compact size (15mm diameter)
• Wide operating voltage range

Benefits:

• Protection of sensitive electronic components from voltage surges
• Prevention of equipment damage and downtime
• Improved system reliability
• Enhanced safety
• Extended product lifespan

Additional Details:

The XE104-Z (15MM) varistor provides a robust and reliable solution for surge protection. When a voltage surge occurs, the varistor’s resistance rapidly decreases, diverting the excess current away from the protected components. This clamping action limits the voltage across the protected circuit to a safe level. The varistor’s compact size makes it easy to integrate into various electronic designs. It is designed to withstand multiple surge events without degradation. The device complies with relevant industry safety standards, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
