MLV2220E31403T

TVS (transient voltage suppression) devices, such as varistors, MOVs, and MLV2220E31403T are widely used in power systems for the purpose of protecting sensitive electronics from voltage transients. This type of device offers protection against high-power transients and other voltage related anomalies that can damage electronic components. The MLV2220E31403T is particularly useful for providing strong overvoltage protection against large-scale Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) transients.

The MLV2220E31403T is a surface mounted MOV (metal oxide varistor) that provides a low capacitance solution for high-voltage applications. It features a 2mm x 2mm chip size, and operates in a temperature range from -55°C to +85°C. It is characterized by a snap-on design and is comprised of a metal oxide film deposited on an FR-4 substrate. This type of varistor has a low capacitance rating of 0.4pF and is capable of withstanding 330 volts of peak impulse voltage while providing up to 10A of continuous current.

The MLV2220E31403T provides superior EMI protection due to its low capacitance rating and high peak voltage rating. It is specifically designed for low-capacitance applications, and is capable of handling higher peak voltages compared to most other MOVs. In addition, the lock-on type design of the MLV2220E31403T ensures that it stays connected to the circuit board. This is beneficial for reliable and long-term operation, as it does not require any manual replacement.

The main application field for the MLV2220E31403T is in power systems and EMI-sensitive circuits. This includes computers, peripherals, phones, and other devices that require robust EMI protection. It can be used in a wide variety of applications, including communications systems, consumer electronics, medical electronics, automotive electronics, and much more. The MLV2220E31403T is a great choice for any application that needs reliable EMI protection.

The working principle behind varistors, including the MLV2220E31403T, is that they have a non-linear voltage-current characteristic. This means that when a transient voltage occurs, the varistor will conduct any excess current away from the load, ensuring that the expected voltage does not exceed the threshold voltage of the device. This prevents any further damage to the sensitive components, providing reliable protection for your power system.

In conclusion, the MLV2220E31403T is a great choice for providing high-performance protection against Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) transients. It has a low capacitance rating of 0.4pF, allowing it to provide a high peak voltage rating of 330 volts, while still offering up to 10A of continuous current. Its main application field is in power systems and EMI-sensitive circuits, and its working principle is based on its non-linear voltage-current characteristic. This ensures that it can effectively protect against voltage transients and provide safe and reliable power for your system.
