ROV05-511K-S

Varistors, MOVs, are electrical transient suppression devices. They protect sensitive electronic equipment from electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and electro-static discharge (ESD). They are active components and have a wide range of applications. The ROV05-511K-S is a varistor that offers excellent protection against voltage transients and spikes.

What is a Varistor?

A varistor is a diode that contains a metal oxide layer. It is sensitive to voltage changes and offers protection against over-voltage transients and variations in the power supply. Varistors are often used to protect circuit boards and other sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes. They act as a shunt, or switch, which temporarily diverts the surge of electricity away from the protected component.

ROV05-511K-S Application Field

The ROV05-511K-S is a surface-mount varistor. It offers excellent protection against voltage transients and spikes and is widely used in many industries. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive, industrial control and medical equipments. It is an ideal choice for devices that require maximum protection from over-voltage transients.

Working Principle of ROV05-511K-S

The ROV05-511K-S uses a metal oxide element in its design. The metal oxide layer acts as a varistor. The device works by providing a path or “shunt” for excess current to flow. When the voltage increases above a predetermined threshold, the varistor starts conducting and kicks-in to protect the circuit. The ROV05-511K-S is designed to work with a wide range of voltage levels, from 60V to 100 V. It is fast acting and can react in less than 1µs.

Advantages of ROV05-511K-S
