Method for manufacturing zinc oxide varistors having reduced voltage drift

Zinc oxide varistors are thermally treated, after sintering, at temperatures between 400 DEG C. and 800 DEG C. in air for a period of one to ten hours. The thermal treatment apparently removes residual strains resulting from the sintering process and substantially reduces voltage drift.
