MLV0402E30403T

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are an important component in the protection of electronic circuits. TVS\' devices can be divided into two types, Varistors and MOVs. MLV0402E30403T is a product of varistor for TVS applications. This section explores its application field and working principle.

MLV0402E30403T is a multilayer varistor (MLV) which is designed specifically for commercial and industrial applications. Its electrical characteristics include low leakage current (<0.1μA), high surge current (10V, 8A) and capacitance (2V, 2nF). MLV0402E30403T is ideal for transient voltage surge protection in consumer and related electronics. This varistor can also be used for general purpose and power line protection as well as EMC, ESD, and EFT applications.

The working principle of MLV0402E30403T is based on the fact that when a voltage is applied across it, small electrical currents flow and the varistor begins to behave as an open circuit or short. This is due to the varistor\'s construction which includes an electrically active medium and two electrodes. The electrodes are placed in an electrical field where they are exposed to highly fluctuating electrical charges. When a voltage is applied, the field\'s electric potential causes the electrical currents to penetrate the medium, causing it to become less resistive and allowing more current to flow. This makes the varistor act as an open circuit or short.

In addition, MLV0402E30403T also contains a number of other components that provide it with its unique attributes. For example, it includes a diode to protect against overvoltage and a capacitor to reduce the peak pulsations of the electrical current. Furthermore, the varistor also contains a number of additional components such as a fuse, resistors and inductors. These components all contribute to the varistor\'s ability to protect electronic circuits from transient voltage surges.

To conclude, MLV0402E30403T is an ideal varistor for use in protecting electronic circuits. Its construction includes an electrically active medium, two electrodes and a number of other components. This combination makes it suitable for a variety of applications such as surge protection, EMC, ESD and EFT protection. Furthermore, its electrical characteristics make it ideal for transient voltage surge protection in consumer and related electronics.
