ROV05H220L-2

Varistors, often known as voltage-dependent resistors (VDRs) or MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) are electronic components that protect circuits from high voltage surges and electrical transients. In particular, they are used in protecting sensitive circuits such as computers, cell phones and other consumer electronics. A common type of MOV is the ROV05H220L-2.

The ROV05H220L-2 is a small form factor Surface Mount Varistor with a zener diode integrated into it, allowing it to perform as one complete component. This type of varistor provides excellent protection from high voltage spikes up to 220Vac, making it an ideal solution for use in various applications. It is also highly resistant to wear and tear, making it a reliable and durable choice for cost-effective protection.

The variety of applications for the ROV05H220L-2 make it an ideal choice for a variety of industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, data loggers, networking systems, robotics, and test and measurement. Additionally, it is well suited for use in high precision digital signal processing (DSP) applications, including medical imaging systems, as well as telecommunication and wireless communication systems.

The ROV05H220L-2\'s excellent surge current handling capability makes it a perfect choice for protecting against high voltage transients, whether they occur in direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). It is also designed to handle high power density, allowing it to reliably protect against high power transients. This type of MOV also offers superb clamping performance, which is extremely important in order to effectively protect circuitry and components from damage.

In terms of its working principle, the MOV employs a zener diode internally, allowing it to act as a voltage-dependent resistor when a surge occurs. This resistance is adjustable, allowing the MOV to be set to any desired level of protection. As the surge voltage increases, the resistance drops, resulting in a higher current being conducted through the MOV. In this way, the MOV can effectively protect the components and circuitry from any potentially damaging surges.

The ROV05H220L-2varistor is a highly reliable, cost-effective solution for protecting electronic circuits from high voltage surges and transients. Its adjustable protection feature means that it can be tailored to the user\'s needs, while its excellent surge current handling capability ensures that it will provide reliable and long-lasting protection. Its variety of applications makes it a highly versatile solution for both professional and consumer electronics.
