82542350

The 82542350 TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) is a protection device for sensitive electronic circuits and components against voltage spikes. It\'s a nonlinear resistor which limits high voltage transient to a safe level. The most common varieties including Varistors, MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) and Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS).

Varistors are specialized transistors that provide protection against electrical overstressing of sensitive circuit components due to overvoltage transients. They have a low resistance when the applied voltage is below its normal working level, and a much higher resistance when the voltage approaches or exceeds its rated value. The increased resistance limits the flow of electrical current, which reduces the risk of overheating and circuit failure. They are commonly used in power supplies, computer systems, telecoms and even in EVs.

MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) are similar to Varistors in that they serve as an effective and long lasting voltage protection medium. They function in the same way as Varistors, that is, by abruptly increasing resistance when the applied voltage reaches its rated limit. However, MOVs employ a dielectric material (Zinc Oxide) to act as a medium for the resistance increase rather than a semiconductor. This makes MOVs more reliable as they can handle a maximum number of load cycles.

TVS also known as Transient Voltage Suppressors, is a component designed to protect against transient voltage levels that are higher than the normal operating voltage of a system. The component does this by diverting the excess transient voltage away from the protected system. TVS devices are also known as clamps because they can be used to clamp the voltage at a safe level. In general the voltage clamping voltage of a TVS device is always lower than the normal working voltage of the protected system. This ensures that the device only contacts when the transient voltage is dangerously high. TVS devices can range from a few volts to hundreds of kilovolts.

The 82542350 TVS device is one of the most common protection mechanisms used to protect electronic devices against overvoltage transients. With its low capacitance and peak pulse power rating of 8 millisecond, this device offers excellent protection against high peak voltage transients in telecommunication and data networks. The device limits the transient voltage on the input line to prevent voltage levels from exceeding the safe operating voltage range for embedded system components. In addition, the TVS can suppress voltage transients generated by ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) or lightning transients.

The 82542350 TVS device works managing ESD, surges, spikes and other transient voltage conditions by shunting the excessive electrical energy away from the sensitive components in a system. The device is able to absorb energy and dissipate it as heat instead of allowing it to reach vulnerable circuit elements. As with any protector, it may degrade quickly under the high temperature and consume itself. In addition, it is recommended to take some precautions to avoid high temperatures.

In conclusion, the 82542350 TVS is a versatile and cost effective solution for protecting sensitive electrical components and equipment against transient overvoltages. This device is suitable for applications where it is important to limit the maximum voltage on the input line, such as telecom and data networks, embedded systems, and other applications. The device also offers high peak pulse power rating and low capacitance, making it an ideal protector for these applications.
