  "term": "VDR",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A Voltage Dependent Resistor, also known as a varistor, a non-linear resistor whose resistance changes significantly with the applied voltage. Its resistance decreases sharply as the voltage across it increases beyond a certain threshold. VDRs are commonly used as surge protectors in electronic circuits to divert excess voltage.",
