ROV14-221K-S

Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are two-terminal components with a junction between them, capable of providing electrical noise protection. Varistors, MOVs, and ROV14-221K-S are all examples of TVS. ROV14-221K-S is a type of MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) which has two terminals and is designed to limit the voltage to a predetermined level. It is commonly used in various applications, such as communication systems, industrial automation, medical equipment, lightning protection and consumer electronics.

ROV14-221K-S can withstand high surge and provide asymmetrical clamping protection, which makes it suitable for use in applications with high capacitive loads. It is available in a wide variety of voltage ratings, from 18V to 440V. It is also an environmentally friendly component, as it is RoHS compliant.

The working principle of the ROV14-221K-S is quite simple. When the supply voltage rises above the preset threshold, the MOV quickly clamps the voltage to the desired level. This process is known as "clamping". As the applied voltage starts to drop, the MOV will slowly release it to the desired level. This process is known as "unclamping." During this process, the voltage remains relatively stable.

The main advantage of the ROV14-221K-S is its low-profile package, which allows for space-saving designs. It also offers a very low leakage current, which means that it can be used in sensitive applications where these other components may be compromised. Additionally, due to its small size, the ROV14-221K-S has a very fast response time, making it ideal for use in high-speed applications.

Although the ROV14-221K-S is usually used for protection against over-voltage, it can also be used in applications requiring reverse energy protection. This component can also be used in the protection of personnel from electrical shock and protection of sensitive components from voltage spikes. Additionally, it can be used as an EMC filter component, helping to reduce EMI noise.

The ROV14-221K-S is a very versatile component, as it can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is ideal for a variety of applications, including communication systems, industrial automation, medical equipment, lightning protection, and consumer electronics. Additionally, due to its ability to provide low leakage current and high surge protection, it is an ideal choice in many applications.
