MOV-20D361KTR

TVS - Varistors, MOVs are often called “aciustor surge protection devices” because of their ability to absorb and divert transient voltage surges. The MOV-20D361KTR is one such component that provides excellent protection from current surges and electrical noise in a variety of applications. It has a wide range of voltages ratings that cover the most common of power supply and data line protection needs.

MOV-20D361KTR is a three-terminal, metal oxide varistor with a voltage rating of 20Vdc and a transient voltage protection level of 36V. It features a fast response time, low current noise, and superior surge capability. This MOV is designed to provide power line and data line overvoltage protection from transient voltage events such as lightning strikes, transient surges, and electrostatic discharges. It has an industry standard size of 14-pin DIP construction, which makes it suitable for most applications that require surge protection.

The MOV-20D361KTR has numerous applications in various industries. It can be used to protect sensitive circuits from wiring faults, lightning strikes, electrostatic discharges, or any other contact with high voltages and electrostatic fields. It can also be used as part of surge protection products to limit inrush current or voltage transients on contact with other sensitive electronics. It is ideal for use in consumer electronic equipment such as computers, printers, and medical equipment and can also be used in automotive and industrial applications. The MOV-20D361KTR is an ideal choice for any application that requires reliable, fast-acting, and easily installed overvoltage protection.

The working principle of MOV-20D361KTR is fairly simple and relies on its metal oxide composition and component architecture. When an overvoltage or surge condition occurs, the varistor material, typically Zinc Oxide, responds quickly by conducting more current than usual. This turns the MOV into an electrically conductive device. This sudden increased current allows the overvoltage or surge to be diverted through the device, preventing any damage to the circuit or components it is used to protect.

The MOV-20D361KTR is a reliable and cost effective overvoltage protection solution for a variety of applications. Its fast response time and superior surge capability make it an excellent choice for lightning and transient surge protection in both indoor and outdoor applications. It is also well-suited for consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. Its size and construction make it a simple and easy to install component; it can be used as an effective solution for slow and fast acting overvoltage protection.
