MOV-07D241K Circuit Protection

MOV-07D241K is a semiconductor component which belongs to the family of transient voltage suppressors (TVS) and metal oxide varistors (MOVs). It is designed specifically to protect electronic systems from overvoltage transients. It is constructed with a chip of silicon and a joule rating of 30W, this device is able to provide protection to a wide range of input voltage levels in a fast and reliable way. This component is a two-terminal device, hence easy to install and integrate with other components to form a voltage protection system.

Application Field

MOV-07D241K is mainly used for overvoltage protection in a variety of electronic systems. This includes protection of power supplies, signal lines, control lines, automation lines, communication lines, and other electro-mechanical equipment. MOV-07D241K is also used as a surge protection device for protection against lightning and other transient overvoltage events. Its 30W rating makes it suitable for a broad range of applications and system designs.

Working Principle

MOV-07D241K works on the principle of voltage-regulating diode (VRD). This principle states that when voltage is applied to a two-terminal device such as MOV-07D241K, the device conducts electricity in proportion to the voltage applied between its two terminals. When a transient overvoltage event occurs, the device begins to conduct electricity in order to regulate the voltage. The level of conductivity proportionally increases depending on the magnitude of the voltage across its terminals. This helps the device to provide protection from the transient event. The MOV-07D241K is filled with a zinc oxide pellet, which is the main component of the device. During an overvoltage event, the zinc oxide crystal will expand rapidly, leading to a large increase in resistance within the device. This helps to reduce the peak voltage and helps to protect the device from damage due to the overvoltage.
