The 32D series

The 32D series is a line of 32 mm round, epoxy-encapsulated zinc oxide varistors made by Guiyang High-Tech Yige Electronic Co., Ltd. for surge protective device (SPD) manufacturers and OEMs. Rated In 20 kA / Imax 40 kA (8/20 µs), the standard range covers varistor voltages from 100 V to 1,200 V in 27 model grades. The varistor discs are pressed, sintered, metallized, coated and tested in our own Guiyang plant — not bought in — which is how tolerances and surge ratings stay consistent from batch to batch. In North America, the series is supported by Flyboat Electronic LLC, the factory's sales and engineering center in Bellevue, WA.

Certification status

The 32D series is not UL recognized: the catalog ratings tables for this series print the UL / C-UL / TÜV columns but leave every cell blank.

For series not yet UL recognized, we can pursue UL certification for your program.

32D standard ratings — full table

Column definitions: U1mA = varistor voltage at DC 1 mA; ΔU1mA = varistor-voltage tolerance; UAC / UDC = maximum continuous operating voltage; In = nominal discharge current (8/20 µs); Imax = maximum discharge current (8/20 µs); UP = clamping voltage at In, shown as reference value–ratio; ETM = maximum energy absorption (2 ms). The catalog prints UL / C-UL / TÜV columns for this table but leaves them blank for every model in this series, so they are omitted here.

Datasheets and samples

Every grade has a full datasheet (electrical parameters, surge ratings, dimensions), available on request. The 32D also appears on the 32D product page. For samples and design-in support: North America — Thomas Dong, Flyboat Electronic LLC; China — Colin Fei. See the Contact page or the buyer FAQ.

One boundary worth stating plainly: these are bare MOV components with no integrated thermal protection, and they are not drop-in replacements for thermally protected TMOV devices. Disconnection belongs to the SPD design; where a design calls for it at the device level, we supply protection modules with built-in disconnectors — see Products.
