ROV05-511K-2

TVS stands for Transient Voltage Suppressors, with MOVs and Varistors being two of the most popular types. ROV05-511K-2 is a Varistor series from Bourns company that is specifically designed to protect sensitive circuit components from high-energy transients. This series is ideally suited for a variety of applications such as automotive, security systems, telecommunications networks and AC power systems.

ROV05-511K-2 Varistors are non-linear devices that can absorb and dissipate high currents and voltages that occur during an incident of high energy industrial or electrical event. Its working principle follows the same as any other varistor: when the voltage passes a certain threshold called the clamping voltage, the varistor absorbs the excess voltage and shorts the circuit momentarily. This prevents any sudden overshoot of voltage or current and protects sensitive electronics from getting damaged.

ROV05-511K-2 Varistors are fabricated using metal oxide technology and have excellent surge protection capabilities. They can take considerable amounts of current without wearing out or getting damaged and are perfect for medium and heavy load applications. The series also offers improved EMI/RFI noise performance and lightning protection.

The varistors are available in a variety of form factors that can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of the application.e.g., ROV05-511K-2 contains a disc-type package with a surge current rating of up to 40,000 A. These devices can handle direct lightning strikes and power surges without tripping or causing any damage.

ROV05-511K-2 Varistors come with a high temperature rating of up to 150°C. This ensures that the varistors can that can withstand the extreme temperatures of some applications. Furthermore, they come with a high response time, which means they can quickly absorb and dissipate the excess voltage in an instant.

Overall, ROV05-511K-2 Varistors are perfect for applications that require reliable protection from high-energy transients. They are available in different form factors that can be tailored to the specific needs of the application and come with high surge current and high temperature ratings. This makes them perfect for industrial, automotive, and power supply applications.
