AVRM1608C390KT271N

The AVRM1608C390KT271N is a Varistor, MOV (Transient Voltage Suppressor) component that is used to protect against electrical overstress (EOS).

When an excessive voltage is applied, it absorbs the energy and helps protect the device from damage. It is commonly used to protect against power surges in networks and other electrical systems. Varistors are also known as Voltage Dependent Resistors (VDRs) and they are widely used to protect circuits from spikes in voltage.

The AVRM1608C390KT271N is a multi-layer varistor that has a temperature coefficient of -7.7 %/K (at 20°C). The device is made of a substrate which is a ceramic material that has a layered structure with a ceramic and metal dielectric layer. This helps to reduce the voltage and limit the current. The capacitive properties and low impedance of the device help to make it an effective surge protector.

When a surge of voltage is applied, the varistor conducts current at a higher level than the normal operating range. The device absorbs the surge energy, dissipates it as heat and keeps the voltage within safe limits. The device is capable of switching on and off in a few milliseconds so that it can respond to multiple surges. It is very reliable and can withstand multiple voltage stress events.

The AVRM1608C390KT271N is used in a variety of applications such as consumer electronics, commercial products, automotive, industrial, and medical electronics. It is used in the protection of AC lines, DC lines, and direct current signal lines. It can also be used in power line filters, lightning over-voltage protection, and battery electrolyte level control applications.

The device has an operating voltage of 6 to 10 Volts and an insulation voltage of 40 Volts. It is rated to protect up to 900V peak impulses and it has a capacitance of 262 pF. The AVRM1608C390KT271N has a wide range of working temperatures from -55 to +85°C so it is suitable for use in extreme environments.

The AVRM1608C390KT271N is an important device used in the protection of circuits from unwanted voltage surges and voltage spikes. It is a reliable and efficient device that can protect the components in the circuit from damage. Its wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for use in a variety of applications.
