BSPM3690WE

The BSPM3690WE Varistor is a non-linear two-terminal device specifically designed to protect sensitive electronics and delicate electrical components from overvoltage transients. This Varistor is typically used to protect circuits or equipment from surges or transient voltages resulting from a variety of events, such as induction, lightning, nearby electrical arcs or electrical transients on power lines. The BSPM3690WE Varistor represents a class of transient voltage protection semiconductors called Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) devices, also known as Varistors (VRs) or Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs).

These devices provide a measure of protection against voltage transients that are caused by both internal and external sources. The primary purpose of a Varistor is to protect sensitive electronics and equipment from electrical surges. These surges can occur due to any number of sources, such as electromagnetic interference, lightning strikes, inductive loads, or as a result of power line transients. The BSPM3690WE Varistor has been developed to provide protection from such surge events.

The BSPM3690WE Varistor is a non-linear device which exhibits non-linear behavior when subjected to a voltage which is greater than its normal operating voltage. This means that when a voltage spike occurs, the varistor can be quickly switched into a high resistance state, thereby clamping the voltage to a safe level and thus preventing damage to the equipment.

The BSPM3690WE Varistor is designed to provide protection to a wide range of electronic equipment and components, including low-voltage DC circuits, optoelectronic components, signal transistors, and sensors. The varistor can also be used in automotive applications, such as fuel pumps and ignition. The BSPM3690WE Varistor has been designed to be thermally stable, and in many applications it can be used as a fixed overload protection device.

The design of the BSPM3690WE Varistor is based on its use of a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV). This MOV is made of a mixture of zinc oxide and other metals, such as cobalt, and is held in place by a ceramic core. When a voltage above the normal operating voltage is applied to the MOV, the zinc oxide molecules align and the resistance of the MOV quickly changes from a low resistance state to a high resistance state, thus clamping the voltage to a safe level. The BSPM3690WE Varistor is able to provide superior protection against disturbances due to its fast response time.

The BSPM3690WE Varistor is a highly effective tool for providing protection against various voltage transient events. It is designed for use in all types of circuits and equipment, whether the application is automotive, commercial, industrial, or consumer. The device is widely used as an effective surge protection device and is trusted by engineers all over the world for protecting sensitive circuits and equipment.
