ROV10-270K-2

TVS (transient voltage suppressors) is an electrical component which is used to protect circuits and components against surges caused by electrostatic discharge, lightning strikes or short duration power faults. Varistors, MOVs (metal oxide varistors) are components which are used as an alternative and often more efficient way of protecting electrical and electronic components against surges and spikes in voltage. The ROV10-270K-2 TVS Varistor is a high power varistor used for applications which need a higher level of protection against voltage surges.

The ROV10-270K-2 is a 10mm radial leaded varistor with a breakdown voltage of 270VAC. It has a power rating of 600W and an operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C. The ROV10-270K-2 is made from a metal alloy which is resistant to thermal, mechanical and electrical stress and is designed for high reliability and durability. The varistor has a relatively low capacitance and noise, making it suitable for use in high-frequency applications.

The ROV10-270K-2 is suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial, automotive, telecommunications and consumer electronics. It is commonly used in the protection of AC and DC circuits in power supplies, circuit boards and components, telephone and data networks, and for protecting against overvoltage and electromagnetic interference. The ROV10-270K-2 can also be used in applications which require the protection of sensitive electronics, such as medical equipment.

The working principle of the ROV10-270K-2 is based on the PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) properties of its metal alloy. When a voltage surge is present, the varistor acts as a resistor, absorbing and dissipating the energy of the surge. The PTC element helps to ensure that the varistor remains in a low impedance state in the presence of a surge, returning to its normal high impedance state when the surge has passed.

In summary, the ROV10-270K-2 is a high power, radial leaded varistor which is suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a high power rating and a wide operating temperature range, making it an ideal choice for surge protection applications. The ROV10-270K-2 works by absorbing and dissipating the energy of a voltage surge, relying on the PTC properties of its metal alloy to maintain a low impedance state in the presence of a surge.
