62684-6011N1AHLF

62684-6011N1AHLF, while a seemingly meaningless string of letters and numbers, is actually a component part commonly found in a variety of electronic devices. It is generally used as a low-cost, easily integrated solution to provide a basic level of protection for various applications. The part itself is a type of varistor, also commonly known as a Transient Voltage Suppression Diode or Voltage-Dependent Resistor (VDR).

A varistor works in two primary ways. First, it provides protection against ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) and transients created by changes in voltage. This prevents damage to circuit components and thwart unwanted electrical events from occurring. Second, it helps to reduce the energy of the arc from inductive loads, such as switching relays and coil operated switches.

The 62684-6011N1AHLF varistor is an anvil type of disc with a 11mm diameter, a height of 1.4mm, and a capacitance of 47pF (±30%). It comes standard with a lead-free solderable termination that is compatible with both Wave Solder and Vapor Phase Solder processes. The part itself is made of a zinc-oxide material which allows it to stand up to the high voltage and current for which it is rated as a protection device.

Though it is specified to a nominal 6V maximum, the 62684-6011N1AHLF varistor is actually designed to withstand up to 400V for pulses. This can be modified somewhat depending on the application, but the 62684-6011N1AHLF is generally used as an off-the-shelf solution to reduce the amount of design time needed. It also provides a low-cost, reliable, and easily integrated solution for industrial, automotive, and residential applications.

Common applications for the 62684-6011N1AHLF varistor include controlling the flow of voltage through solar cells, connecting interrupt circuits, and providing protection in circuits used in telecommunications systems. It can also protect against lightning strikes, surges, and changes in voltage that can otherwise cause significant damage to devices and systems. In some cases, the 62684-6011N1AHLF is also used to help regulate high voltage levels.

For all the power and protection provided by the 62684-6011N1AHLF varistor, it is also known for being highly reliable and easy to work with. It can withstand extreme temperatures, from -55C to +150C, and operate within a wide voltage range, from 50V to 400V. It comes with multiple lead-free solderable terminations so it can be integrated into various circuits without needing any additional parts.

The 62684-6011N1AHLF varistor is a common part used in a variety of applications. It provides basic protection against ESD and transient voltages, while also allowing for the regulation of voltage levels in high-voltage circuits. It is highly reliable, offers a low-cost solution for integration, and works with extreme temperatures. All these factors make the 62684-6011N1AHLF a suitable solution for many electronic applications.
