ROV07-151K-S-2

TVS – Varistors, MOVs

TVS stands for Transient Voltage Suppressors, and is the category covering MOVs (Metal-Oxide Varistors) and Varistors. They are electronic components that provide protection from electrical transients. There are different types of transient suppressor available, depending on the application.

ROV07-151K-S-2 Application Field and Working Principle

The ROV07-151K-S-2 is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) developed specifically for protecting electronic equipment from transients or surges which result from lightning, electrostatic discharge, and other voltage disturbances. This device is designed to meet the requirements of IEC61000-4-2.

The ROV07-151K-S-2 is designed specifically for use in the automotive industry, but its usage is not limited to the automotive field, and can be applied to a wide range of applications such as industrial electronics, communications, power supplies and consumer electronics.

The ROV07-151K-S-2 is based on Metal-Oxide Varistors (MOVs). The principal of operation is that when a surge occurs, the MOV absorbs the excessive energy and limits the transient voltage to its maximum peak voltage rating. The MOV remains in the clamping position until the surge dissipates, after which it returns to its normal state. In this way, internal components such as diodes, resistors, and transistors are protected from over-voltage and related hazards.

The ROV07-151K-S-2 has a large range of characteristics and competitive advantages which makes it suitable for differrent environments. It has a low on-state resistance (150mΩ max), and a maximum operating voltage of 1500VDC. It can dissipate up to 6A of inrush current, and can operate over an extended temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. In addition, its high surge capability and small package size of 5.5mm x 8.5mm makes it ideal for space-constrained applications.

In summary, the ROV07-151K-S-2 is an ideal solution for protecting electronics from transient voltage, and is widely used in different applications. It offers excellent performance, and has a wide range of features which make it suitable for a variety of applications.
