ERZ-V10D101

The ERZ-V10D101 is an overvoltage protection component classified as part of the Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) family, and is the abbreviation of E-shaped radial leaded MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors). This component is widely used and has versatile applications such as short circuit protection, electrostatic discharge protection, voltage clamping, etc.

The MOV is composed of zinc oxide granules and is a nonlinear device. It is used in transient overload protection circuits and can absorb low levels of energy while remaining non-conductive. It operates by absorbing the voltage spike, or transient, when the instantaneous value of the current exceeds its defined threshold. This reduces the voltage applied to any connected components and protects them from damage. The MOVs are also used in surge protection of sensitive electronic devices, to avoid damage due to inductive load switching and lightning related power surges.

ERZ-V10D101 is a radial leaded Type E MOV with a catastrophic breakdown of 10D101kA2s. Its rated power dissipation is 4.2W, with a maximum peak current of 94A and a maximum peak power of 350W. It also has a typical voltage standoff of 20V and is rated for a frequency of 250MHz. It has a wide voltage range, making it applicable for various voltage related protection requirements.

In terms of working principle, MOV varistors are electrical components that can absorb a large amount of voltage, allowing them to protect other electrical components typically without any form of external triggering. They are passive components and are classified as surge protectors, as they can absorb large amounts of voltage while maintaining low internal resistance. They work by transiently absorbing sharp voltage spikes, reducing the voltage applied to any connected components. This is important for preventing any kind of damage caused due to voltage overspikes.

In conclusion, the ERZ-V10D101 Metal Oxide Varistor can absorb up to 10D101kA2s of power and is a standard Type E radial leaded MOV. It has a wide voltage range, making it suitable for various voltage related protection requirements, and is a reliable component when it comes to surge protection of sensitive electronic devices. It works by transiently absorbing sharp voltage spikes, reducing the voltage applied to any connected components and thus protecting them from any damage due to voltage overspikes.
