MOV-14D680KTR

TVSs, or Transient Voltage Suppressors, are a type of Varistor devices designed to protect the equipment from overvoltages and provide the necessary line of insulation between the current and the circuit. MOVs, also known as Metal Oxide Varistors, are a type of Varistor devices, with an oxide layer that provides a breakdown mechanism when overvoltages are applied over its structure. The purpose of these devices is to provide protection from electrical surges or spikes, which can cause data corruption, downtime, and lost productivity.

The MOV-14D680KTR is one of the most common Varistor devices used in various applications. This device has an operating voltage of 680V and is designed with a rugged plastic-filled epoxy construction that provides a reliable, robust solution for protecting against transient surges. It has a robust dielectric strength and a wide range of temperature range, from -40°C and +105°C.

The MOV-14D680KTR is suitable for multiple applications such as overvoltage protection or line isolation in communication networks, telephone systems, automobile, aerospace, medical, security and consumer electronics. In addition, these devices can be utilized for lightning protection, surge protection of AC/DC/trains, RFI (radio frequency interference) filter, energy harvesting, power and signal line, automotive, and for automotive power line noise suppression.

In terms of working principle, the MOV-14D680KTR works by allowing the excess voltage to leak out of the device, thus avoiding damaging the components due to high voltage. This device protects the equipment by quickly going into a low-impedance “on” state, diverting the excess voltage away from the device. The device will then go back into a high-impedance “off” state until the voltage level goes back to normal.

In addition, these devices are designed with an adjustable Proportional Area (P/A) rating. This rating allows the device to automatically adjust its resistance level according to the applied voltage. This ensures that the device will be able to handle higher values of incoming voltage, and thus provide a more robust protection.

Overall, the MOV-14D680KTR is a widely available and versatile Varistor device suitable for multiple applications. It is designed to provide a reliable, convenient, and affordable solution that is suitable for protecting any sensitive equipment from overvoltages. It is also designed with an adjustable Proportional Area rating that will provide the necessary protection for any equipment without having to manually adjust the device.
