MOV-14D220KTR

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) is an electronic component designed to protect other components against transient voltage ranges and high temperature conditions, and are used to protect against voltage spikes. MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) is a specific type of TVS. MOV-14D220KTR is a TVS device used for overvoltage/overload protection in diverse applications, in which its working principle is based on the electrical characteristics of varistors.

MOV-14D220KTR is a two-terminal, low-leakage, non-linear device with a voltage coefficient of -1. When the voltage exceeds its rated voltage, the varistor becomes conductive and limits the surge voltage to a safe level. The 4-quarter surge capability of MOV-14D220KTR ensures improved surge protection from repeated or multiple transient events with fast high current capability.

MOV-14D220KTR is suitable for use in power supplies, communication and networking systems, automotive electronic components, consumer electronic products, control panels, and surge protection. This high-power device is also suitable for a wide range of over-voltage protection applications. It can be used in equipment and systems subjected to transient surges due to lightning strikes, or interference from other power electronics. Its 4-quarter capability ensures superior surge handling capability against environmental and EMC threat while protecting sensitive electronic equipment from damaging over-voltage spikes and surges.

In terms of its working principle, the MOV-14D220KTR operates through a nonlinear current-voltage resistance characteristic, which means that its conductivity changes with the voltage magnitude. At low voltages, the device is non-conductive, while at higher voltages, it becomes more conductive, providing protection. The varistor shunts the voltage to ground, providing safe isolation of the equipment from incoming transients. This principle ensures that the device can react quickly to overvoltage events, and does not latch-up or cause fire and circuit lockout.

The MOV-14D220KTR also has a low leakage/low capacitance characteristic that makes it easy to use in high-speed systems. It has an effective insulation that prevents circuit leakage at normal operating conditions, and is also capable of withstanding high temperature and humidity conditions due to its high temperature stability. In addition, the MOV-14D220KTR is RoHS compliant, meaning it does not contain any hazardous substances that may be damaging to both human and environmental health.

Overall, MOV-14D220KTR is an excellent device for overvoltage/overload protection applications. Its two-terminal design, low leakage and low capacitance characteristics, high temperature stability, and RoHS compliance are just some of the reasons why this device is such an effective and reliable protector for electronic equipment and systems.
