ERZ-V14D102

The ERZ-V14D102 is a surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode, also widely known as a Varistor or Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV). The device is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment such as TVs and personal computers from damage that may be caused by voltage transients and surges. This device is part of a family of plugs and plays electrical protection components that provide electrical protection with no external components required.

The ERZ-V14D102 is a low-power device with a reverse stand-off voltage of 14 volts and has a highly stable design. It has an absolute maximum working voltage of 16 volts, a low stand-off voltage of 8 volts and a high breakdown voltage of 33 volts. The device also has a high power dissipation rating of 250 mW.

The main application for the ERZ-V14D102 is in applications that require the protection of vulnerable electronic components. This could include TVs, computers, telephones and electronic equipment used in motor vehicles. Varistors are also widely used in power supplies, digital circuits, inverters, and charging systems. The device can be used to protect against voltage transients that could cause short circuits, voltage spikes, and over-voltage damage.

The working principle of a Varistor is simple. The main component is a metal oxide semiconductor material, which is arranged in an anode-cathode form. These two electrodes are separated by a dielectric or insulating material. The two electrodes are connected to the voltage supply via two connections on the Varistor. When the voltage across the electrode exceeds the protection level of the Varistor, it will conduct current and quickly dissipate the excess energy.

The ERZ-V14D102 is a reliable and cost effective solution for protecting electronic equipment from transient voltages and surges. The device is easy to install, requires no external components, and is an effective way to protect sensitive electronic components from damage caused by voltage transients. The device is also widely used in a variety of applications, from power supplies to automobiles, and its high power dissipation rating makes it suitable for a range of applications.
