AVR-M1005C080MTACB

As a form of transient voltage surge suppressor (TVS), the AVR-M1005C080MTACB is used for overvoltage protection against short-term or long-term electrical surges in fields such as industrial and medical applications. It is capable of deflecting up to 200 Amperes of 8/20 μs waveform with positive or negative polarity on multiple operating frequencies.

This surge suppressor contains a metal oxide varistor (MOV), also known as variable resistance, a semiconductor component that can quickly and effectively reduce high voltage surges. MOVs provide the AVR with fast and highly efficient protection against any sudden overvoltage that occurs due to spikes, sags, and system anomalies like lightning, surges, and more. Its nonlinear characteristics help the varistor function efficiently, providing very low resistance and high capacitance until a peak voltage is exceeded, whereby it will become abruptly non-linear and act as a short circuit.

The AVR-M1005C080MTACB can clamp a wide range of potentially damaging voltages ranging from 5V to 80V and offers a variety of options for physical packaging, portability, and electrical performance of the device. Its compact size coupled with its capability to attenuate high voltage without introducing ground loops or adding noise, make it especially suitable for high-density PCB layouts.

The AVR-M10010C080MTACB also offers protection against gas discharge transients. GDT gas discharge tube is an electrical device used to reduce spikes and surges in electric current. The core structure of the GDT is a porous ceramic material surrounded by two electrodes. When triggered by an overvoltage, the ceramic material releases electrons, first onto one electrode, then the other. This creates an arcing effect that quickly reduces the transient voltage. The GDT is capable of effectively limiting the voltage between two terminals and providing a path of discharge to ground.

In summary, the AVR-M1005C080MTACB application is generally used for protection from high voltage surges and their associated problems, for various industrial and medical applications. It consists of both metal oxide varistors and gas discharge tubes, which work together to provide a range of protective and accurate clamping characteristics to protect against electrical surges. The small form factor and high-density PCB compatibility of the AVR-M1005C080MTACB make it an ideal choice for many different types of applications.
