TVS - Varistors, MOVs

0070.3511.T2 varistors, also known as metal oxide varistors (MOV), are semiconductor materials used to protect circuits from over-voltage transients. It functions by providing a low resistance path to ground when the voltage exceeds the design limit. This in turn limits the amount of power that flows through the circuit, preventing damage from overvoltage.

Varistors are composed of zinc oxide particles embedded in a polymeric matrix. When an over-voltage transient occurs, the varistor instantly short-circuits the voltage flow by creating a low-resistance path to ground. This prevents any further current from flowing through the circuit.

The 0070.3511.T2 varistor can be used in a variety of applications including line-to-line, line-to-ground, or surge suppression. It can be used to protect devices such as LED’s, motors, pumps, and power supplies against excessive current flow.

The working principle of a 0070.3511.T2 varistor is simple. Upon the application of an over-voltage transient it quickly shifts from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state, diverting the voltage away from the intended load. This process can be repeated multiple times, ensuring reliable protection for the device or circuit.

The 0070.3511.T2 varistor is also highly reliable and has a long service life. As the electrical characteristics do not change over time, it can be used in long-term applications. It also works over a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The 0070.3511.T2 varistor provides reliable protection against over-voltage transients and is suitable for a variety of applications. It works quickly to divert the over-voltage away from the intended load, preventing damage from occurring. It is also highly reliable and has a long service life, making it a great choice for a variety of applications.
