TVS - Varistors, MOVs, are devices that are used to protect electrical circuits from large voltage transients that may occur due to lightning strikes, electrical surges, misfires, and other power anomalies. While these devices are essential for protecting expensive and critical equipment from damage, it is important to understand their application and working principle in order to ensure they provide optimal protection. The B72214Q0171K101, from TDK-Lambda, is a unidirectional SMA TVS-Varistor, MOV, with a low clamping voltage.

When installed in a circuit, the B72214Q0171K101 helps to protect it from overvoltage conditions that may arise from various sources. The way it works can be summed up in three stages. First, when a surge or spike occurs, the varistor’s capacitance decreases, inducing a voltage across its terminals. Then, the inductance of the varistor causes the current to flow through the device, and this current then produces a magnetic field. Finally, the magnetic field causes a counter EMF that clamps the voltage to an appropriate level. To put it simply, the B72214Q0171K101 works like a clamp on the voltage to keep it within a safe range.

The B72214Q0171K101 is particularly suitable for use in consumer electronics, automotive, LED lighting, industrial, and other commercial applications. It provides protection from waves between low frequency 42 V to high frequency of 100 V. It also has a very low typical clamping voltage which is beneficial when trying to protect sensitive components. Furthermore, its low leakage current, low clamping voltage, and fast response time make it an ideal solution for electric circuits with a wide variety of load loads.

In addition to its electrical characteristics, the B72214Q0171K101 has a few physical advantages. It has a small size and is suitable for space-constrained applications. It also has excellent thermal stability, which is an important factor when dealing with high voltages. Lastly, it is designed to operate under extreme ambient temperatures, making it suitable for harsh environments.

The B72214Q0171K101 from TDK-Lambda is a reliable, low-clamping voltage unidirectional SMA TVS-Varistor, MOV that is suitable for a variety of consumer electronics, automotive, LED lighting, industrial, and other commercial applications. When installed correctly, this device can help protect circuits from overvoltage conditions, while providing excellent thermal stability and fast response times. By understanding its application and working principle, circuit designers can ensure that their circuits are properly protected and optimized for performance.
