AVR-M1608C220KT2AB

TVS - Varistors, MOVs are widely used in electrical appliances including personal computers, laptops, stereo systems, TVs, cell phones, cameras, etc. The AVR-M1608C220KT2AB is a Varistor Metal–Oxide–Varistor, which is a form of transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The AVR-M1608C220KT2AB is designed to protect against voltage surges and electrical transients in electrical circuits.

The AVR-M1608C220KT2AB Varistor Metal–Oxide–Varistor is a simple solid-state device made from zinc oxide disks. It consists of a metal oxide varistor (MOV) core with two electrodes attached to either side. When subjected to an overvoltage, the MOV alters the conductivity of its core as the voltage increases. The MOV acts as a resistor, preventing further increases in voltage.

The AVR-M1608C220KT2AB is a self-restoring overvoltage suppression device. Its main purpose is to protect against damage caused by surges and spikes in electrical circuits. When a voltage surge, spike, or transient occurs, the MOV’s internal circuit will reduce the current passing through the device, thus preventing damage to the protected equipment. The MOV is also capable of withstanding high temperature and humidity levels.

The AVR-M1608C220KT2AB can be used in a variety of applications. It is suitable for use as a TVSS in applications such as industrial equipment, telecommunications, household/appliance equipment, medical equipment, power supplies, HVAC systems, electric motors and lighting systems.

Other applications for the AVR-M1608C220KT2AB include automotive, lighting, broadcast and audio equipment, automation systems, metering and instrumentation. The MOV is also suitable for use in computer power supplies and other equipment. It is also an ideal choice for applications where lightning suppressors are needed.

The AVR-M1608C220KT2AB works by absorbing energy generated by surges and spikes in electrical circuits. By conducting the excess energy away from sensitive components the MOV protects them from damage due to overvoltage events. A built-in temperature sensing element in the MOV triggers an active input to the protected circuit, preventing further damage.

In summary, the AVR-M1608C220KT2AB is a Varistor Metal–Oxide–Varistor (MOV) designed to protect against voltage surges and spikes in electrical circuits. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial, automotive, lighting, broadcast and audio equipment, power supplies, medical equipment and HVAC systems. The MOV absorbs energy generated by surges and spikes in electrical circuits, protecting equipment from overvoltage events.
