ROV07H201K-S-2

ROV07H201K-S-2 is a popular TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor / Voltage Regulator) device used for transient suppression and voltage regulation primarily in equipment which may be exposed to voltage surges due to events such as electric arcs, cable shorts, or electrostatic discharge. This type of device is one of a family of devices known as Varistors, MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors).

Varistors, or Metal Oxide Varistors, are voltage sensitive and non-linear devices. This type of protective device utilizes electrical conductance that passes between two electrodes with a fixed value of resistance. As the voltage seen across the device increases, the resistance increases as well. As a result, current flow is limited while the energy from the source is absorbed by the MOV.

In the case of the ROV07H201K-S-2, it is rated for operation up to 2kV, making it well-suited to protect sensitive electronics from over-voltage conditions caused by a variety of sources. The device is available in surface-mount, through-hole, or terminal block form for a wide range of applications. It has a peak current rating of 10A and can protect against power surges up to 400V.

Functionally, the ROV07H201K-S-2 is used to protect against voltage transients, which are short-termvoltage surge events. These transients that occur when a voltage source suddenly ("transiently") exceeds a certain level are usually caused by an electrical fault (such as short circuits, arcing events, or electrostatic discharge), by contact with electrical equipment in different power systems, or by certain environmental influences.

When voltage transients or other over-voltage conditions occur, the ROV07H201K-S-2 will respond immediately. It will absorb the energy of the transient event and transfer it to a storage medium, typically the main capacitor, before it can cause harm to the device or other components. This helps to prevent or reduce the risk of damage to sensitive electronics and prevent component losses. It also helps to mitigate the effects of power surges and protect against voltage spikes.

The ROV07H201K-S-2 is a versatile device which can be found in a variety of applications, including telecom systems, electronics, automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. It is designed to be robust and reliable and can offer additional protection when paired with other devices. It is also small in size and cost-effective, making it an attractive option for engineers looking for an effective way to protect their circuits.

In conclusion, the ROV07H201K-S-2 MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) is an effective and reliable solution for transient suppression and voltage regulation. It is a versatile device that can be used in a variety of applications, offering additional protection when paired with other components. The device offers a cost-effective solution for engineers looking to protect their circuits from the effects of voltage transients and power surges.
