MG052L18X500DP

Uniroyal Electronics Incorporated manufactures a range of Electronic components used in various Industrial, Domestic, and Automotive applications. The MG052L18X500DP is one such varistor, an MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) used in applications such as surge protection and to provide safety for delicate electrical equipment.

MOVs provide an electrical connection between two or more terminals, by passing an electric voltage through a metal oxide resistor material. Once a specified voltage is reached, the resistor material changes its physical structure and an electric current is allowed to flow through it. When the applied voltage surpasses the varistor’s breakdown voltage, it will no longer allow electrical current to pass through it.

The MG052L18X500DP varistor consists of an anodised metallic oxide material made from zinc oxide and a binder. This binder is shock resistant and has a low total capacitance. This combination provides a stable and repeatable response to transient conditions. The varistor achieves a very low clamping voltage, allowing it to protect sensitive equipment from over-voltage bursts and sudden power fluctuations.

The MG052L18X500DP is ideal for applications that require surge protection, usually up to 500 VAC or 300 VDC. It is also suitable for use in place of an MOV assembly, as it is easier to manufacture a compact component rather than an assembly with multiple components. Additionally, it has a low leakage current and low capacitance, which makes it suitable for low-capacitance applications.

The MG052L18X500DP varistor is suitable for use in a range of applications, such as in motor start protection, surge protection, and protection of electronic circuits, such as AC or DC motors, A/V equipment, and power supplies. It can also be used in place of an MOV assembly for improved reliability in transient conditions. Additionally, it is also suitable for use in personal computer applications that are subject to voltage surges and transients.

In summary, the MG052L18X500DP varistor is a reliable and cost-effective solution for surge protection in a range of applications. It is a low-leakage MOV with a low total capacitance, which makes it suitable for low-capacitance applications. It is an ideal solution for applications that need protection from voltage surges and transients.
