Surge protection components are an essential item in any electrical and electronic applications, and Metal Oxide Varistors or MOVs is one of the most frequently used component. It’s mainly used for protecting the circuit from transient overvoltage, which may be caused by lighting, electrostatic discharge or switching action. The purpose of the MOV is to limit the voltage that is supplied to the circuit elements once the voltage exceeds its breakdown level. In this sense, it can be considered as a voltage clamp.

The MLV0402-120-E120 Varistor is one particular device that is known for its superior performance and reliability in surge protection applications. It has been specifically designed to provide superior surge response characteristics, enabling it to protect sensitive electronic components from over-voltage transients.

The MLV0402-120-E120 is an MOV with a low capacitance ceramic disk. It is constructed using a conductive, non-metallic material and a conductive metal-oxide material. The combination of these two materials allows the MLV0402-120-E120 to act as a reliable, low-impedance, and highly stable surge protection device.

The MLV0402-120-E120 is ideal for use in surge protection applications, such as electronic power supply systems, industrial and commercial lighting systems, motor starters, and automotive systems. It is also suited for applications such as communication networks, fire and security systems, and AC service entrance panels.

When used in surge protection applications, the MLV0402-120-E120 works by providing a low-impedance path for transient overvoltage. This is done by using the non-metallic material, which absorbs the energy from the transient in an even and stable manner. The energy is then dissipated through the conductive metal-oxide material, which serves to convert the energy to heat. The combination of these two materials ensures that the transient current is limited, and the component is not damaged in the process.

In addition to the superior surge protection properties, the MLV0402-120-E120 also offers a wide frequency response. This allows it to respond to both high frequency and low frequency transients. It is also able to withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for use in high-temperature applications.

The MLV0402-120-E120 is an excellent example of an MOV for surge protection applications. Its superior surge protection, wide frequency response, and high temperature tolerance make it an ideal choice for use in many applications. These features make it a reliable and durable surge protection option, ensuring the safety of sensitive electronic components.
