Additional Details:

The VP020M0560REZ-1012 is designed to absorb energy from voltage surges and dissipate it as heat. The voltage rating of 560V indicates the voltage at which the varistor starts to conduct significantly. The surge current capability specifies the maximum current the varistor can withstand without failure.

Consult the Yageo datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics, surge current ratings, energy absorption capabilities, and derating curves. Ensure proper application of the varistor to meet the specific surge protection requirements of the circuit.
