45. MOV for 120VAC Appliance Surge Protection

Tom is designing a 120VAC input power board for a consumer appliance sold in the US market

To protect the board from power line surges and transients, he needs to place a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) across the AC input after the input fuse. 

The MOV must safely handle 120VAC continuous without degrading, and should clamp surges to protect downstream components. 

He wants a through-hole disc type MOV for easy assembly. 

The company's approved vendor list (AVL) specifies Littelfuse for circuit protection components, so the part must be selected from Littelfuse on DigiKey.
