AMCV-1206H-380-T

The AMCV-1206H-380-T is a type of surge protection device (SPD) that offers superior protection against transient voltages and lightning-induced surge currents. It is typically used as a component in power supplies, electronic circuits, and equipment used in medical, industrial, and automotive applications. The device is a combination of metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and reverse-biased high-speed diodes, providing a multi-functional alternative that is ideal for protecting power systems from over-voltage and over-current conditions.

MOVs are an essential component in SPDs as they offer extremely low leakage currents, fast transient response times, and superior surge protection capabilities. MOVs consist of ceramic materials with metallic oxide particles embedded in them. When voltage is applied to the device, free electrons in the metallic particles can move across the ceramic and create a conductive path for current flow. This movement of electrons causes the device to show resistance effectively clamping the voltage and current levels.

The high-speed diodes in the AMCV-1206H-380-T offer a very fast response time with typically less than 350 nanoseconds from the beginning of an over-voltage or over-current event to the completion of the device’s protection operation. The. Diodes also act as an effective backup protection component when the MOVs fail to clamp the voltage and current levels. The combination of MOVs and fast-acting diodes ensures superior protection performance and longer device lifetimes.

To further reduce the risk of over-voltage or over-current conditions, the AMCV-1206H-380-T is designed to have very low insertion loss. It has both high-frequency and low-frequency components that can operate in the 0Hz to 100KHz frequency range. The device has an adjustable voltage and current limit value that can be set to meet the specific needs of the application. This ensures that the device can operate in an efficient manner and help reduce the amount of energy being lost during the operation.

The AMCV-1206H-380-T is a highly reliable and robust TVS surge protection device. Its combination of MOVs and fast-acting diodes effectively clamp voltage and current levels, while its low insertion loss helps to reduce energy loss. Its adjustable voltage and current limit value makes it suitable for a range of applications, including medical, industrial and automotive applications. Plus, its extremely fast response time ensures it can effectively protect the power system against over-voltage and over-current conditions.
