B72660M0301K093

TVS - Varistors, MOVs, are electronic components used in the protection of electronic equipment and devices against transient voltage spikes. The most common type of TVS is a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) which provides a non-linear resistance to the electrical current. The B72660M0301K093 is an MOV specifically designed to protect electronic circuits from transients generated by lightning or other fast transients.

The B72660M0301K093 features a low clamping voltage of 31.80V and is rated for a peak pulse power dissipation of 650W (8/20μs). The device also includes an internal spark gap which works in combination with the MOV to protect against secondary transients. The MOV is built on a surface mount package circuitry and is designed to be placed near the circuit board, or in close proximity to areas which are commonly subject to large transient voltage pulses such as lightning strikes.

The B72660M0301K093 is designed to protect against fast transients and can be used in applications such as: surge protection in power supplies, power supply buses, data lines, microcontrollers, automotive electronics and other sensitive electronics. In an application, the B72660M0301K093 is typically connected across the power lines, and/or signal lines to limit the voltage spike to a safe level.

Working principle of the B72660M0301K093 is simple. When an over voltage transient occurs, it tries to increase the voltage across the circuit. This causes the MOV to become conductive and divert the current away from the circuit instead. During this process, the MOV absorbs the excess energy of the transient, protecting the circuit from damage. The spark gap on the device will then trigger a short circuit on the power lines, further dissipating any remaining energy.

In conclusion, the B72660M0301K093 is an MOV specifically designed to protect electronic circuits from transients generated by lightning or other fast transients. This device features a low clamping voltage and is designed for a peak pulse power dissipation of 650W (8/20μs). The principle of operation for this device is it absorbs the excess energy of the transient, protecting the circuit from damage. Furthermore, it is rated for a variety of applications such as surge protection in power supplies, power supply buses, data lines, microcontrollers, automotive electronics and other sensitive electronics.
