MOV-20D101K

MOV-20D101K is a TVS device, which stands for Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS). It is mainly used to suppress voltage spikes and transients in power supply lines. It is designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment from power surges and overvoltage.The MOV-20D101K is a nonlinear thermistor type TVS. It is designed to suppress high frequency electrical energy, which is caused by induction or other factors. It is an over voltage protection device which has a fast response time and high peak pulse power. It is used for direct power line connection and over voltage protection.The MOV-20D101K is made of a ceramic body with a metal oxide varistor (MOV) inside it. The MOV is a semiconductor device which works based on the principle of nonlinear resistance. It consists of two electrodes sandwiched between two layers of metallic oxide. When subjected to a high positive voltage, the MOV will become conducting and divert the current away from the protected devices. The MOV-20D101K is usually connected to the power line via a series of capacitors or inductors. This helps reduce the voltage spikes which can cause damage to sensitive circuitry. The MOV-20D101K also helps protect the devices from overvoltage and reverse polarity.The working principle of the MOV-20D101K is quite simple. When the voltage across the MOV exceeds a certain threshold, it will start to conduct and divert the current away from the protected devices. This helps reduce the risk of equipment damage caused by voltage transients. The MOV-20D101K is typically used in applications where overvoltage must be controlled or reduced. It is also used in areas where fast response time is needed to protect delicate circuitry. Some of the typical applications for the MOV-20D101K are power line protection, energy management, telecom equipment, consumer electronics and surge protection.In conclusion, the MOV-20D101K is a nonlinear thermistor type TVS device. It is mainly used to protect electrical and electronic equipment from high frequency voltage spikes, transients and overvoltage. By providing over voltage protection and fast response time, the MOV-20D101K helps reduce the risk of equipment damage. It is typically used in applications such as power line protection, energy management and telecom equipment.
