ROV14-101K-S

TVS (transient voltage suppressors) are often an afterthought when designing a new system. They are an essential part of the protection scheme for sensitive components from electrical discharges, especially power surge. Transients are high power pulses that can fit in the power distribution of a system and cause shorts or over-voltages which can damage delicate electronics. This is where TVS come in, their primary function is to protect delicate electronic components from high voltage, high energy, transients.

MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors), are another type of transient voltage suppressor, and are usually the first choice when designing a new protection scheme. MOVs are constructed with multiple layers of zinc oxide which form a bi-directional clamping mechanism. The MOV is connected in series with a sensitive electronic component, thus preventing imbalances of charge and power from damaging the component. MOVs are also known as voltage-dependent resistors, and as such reduce the voltage when it reaches a certain level, often referred to as its working voltage. MOVs are one of the most reliable and widely used transient voltage suppressors.

ROV14-101K-S devices are a combination of both TVS and MOVs in one device. The fuse-less design of these devices eliminates the need for extra components, reducing the size and cost of the protection scheme. There are two major components of ROV14-101K-S. The first part is a MOV with a working voltage rating of 14V, and the second part is the zener diode, which acts as the TVS. The TVS is responsible for protecting sensitive components from high voltage transients, while the MOV serves as the final clamping component after the transient has been attenuated by the TVS. Combined, these two components provide efficient, cost-effective protection against transient voltage events.

ROV14-101K-S devices can be used in many applications including power supply systems, automotive equipment, instrumentation, industrial control systems and telecommunication systems. Their low power usage, small size and high reliability make them the ideal choice for many applications. Additionally, their fuse-less design makes it easy to incorporate into existing systems, without the need for extra components.

ROV14-101K-S devices do not require any additional components to be installed, which makes them simple to use and require very little maintenance. In order to achieve optimal performance, the device should be placed on the electrically-protected line and the rated standing voltage should be adjusted within the specified range. The device then works to protect against transients, by acting as a clamp and reducing the voltage to safe levels. This ensures that the sensitive components are not damaged by high-energy voltage transients.

Overall, ROV14-101K-S devices are a very useful combination of both TVS and MOVs in one package. Their fuse-less design allows them to be quickly and easily integrated into existing systems. They provide effective protection for sensitive components from high voltage transients, and their small size allows them to be used in many applications. Additionally, they are easy to use and require very little maintenance.
