A TVS - Varistors, MOVs can help to protect sensitive electronic equipment from damaging transient overvoltage such as lightning-induced surges or voltage spikes. All of these devices must be operating correctly or your electronic equipment will be at risk of damage. The CG0603MLC-3.3LEA is a Type H type of transient protection device and is ideally suited for suppressing voltage transients occurring on the power and signal lines of microprocessor-based systems.

Working Principle

The CG0603MLC-3.3LEA is comprised of a varistor element and a diode. The diode acts as a protective device for the varistor element. When the applied surge voltage exceeds the diode\'s breakdown voltage, the diode shunts the voltage away from the varistor element, protecting it from damage. When the voltage is below the diode\'s breakdown voltage, the diode is reverse biased and the varistor element is allowed to operate normally.

The varistor element is a non-linear resistor composed of zinc oxide particles and ceramic material. It has a characteristic known as the Peak-Surge Voltage (PSV). The PSV is the maximum surge voltage the varistor can tolerate before it becomes non-functional. The CG0603MLC-3.3LEA is designed to suppress transients with peak voltages up to 13.3V

In addition to its PSV, the CG0603MLC-3.3LEA also has a Clamping Voltage Rating (CVR). This rating refers to the voltage at which the device will begin to conduct current when it is exposed to an overvoltage. When the applied surge voltage exceeds the CVR, the CG0603MLC-3.3LEA will reduce the voltage to an acceptable level.

Application Field

The CG0603MLC-3.3LEA is commonly used to protect peripheral interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, FireWire, audio, and video from overvoltage transients. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications including communications systems, computer and consumer electronics, test and measurement equipment, and instrumentation.

It is compatible with all general-purpose electronic products and can be used in a variety of environments including industrial, commercial, and residential. It is designed for surface mount applications and is lead and halogen-free for added safety.

The CG0603MLC-3.3LEA is a compact and efficient transient protection device that can be used to help protect sensitive electronic equipment from damaging voltage transients. Its diode and varistor combination allows it to operate quickly and reliably to provide a high level of protection for your application.
