overvoltage limited current requirements). Under these extreme
abnormal overvoltage conditions, some units will exhibit substantial
heating, arcing and venting prior to opening. Modules should be
designed to contain this possibility. Application testing is strongly
recommended.

Because the TMOV® and iTMOV® varistors contain a thermal protection device, care must be taken when soldering the devices into place.
Two soldering methods are possible. Firstly, hand soldering: It is recommended to heat-sink the leads of the device. Secondly, wave solder-
ing: It is critically important that all preheat stage and the solder bath temperatures are rigidly controlled.
