ROV14H681K

Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) - Varistors, MOVs, are electrical components which are used to protect electronic circuits against voltage transients. TVS components are often the first line of defence against damaging over-voltage events, as they protect electrical and electronic equipment from physical, mechanical and electronic damage. The ROV14H681K is a varistor that belongs to this family.

The ROV14H681K is a bidirectional, temperature-compensated, radial-leaded varistor with a breakdown voltage range 681V, and the ability to withstand surges up to 14A (8/20μs). It provides electrostatic discharges protection according to IEC-61000-4- II. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and a maximum clamping voltage of 824V peak.

The working principle behind the ROV14H681K is simple. They are made up of two electrodes, one of which is movable and passes over a gap in the other. When a fluctuation in the surrounding voltage causes this gap to cross its specified threshold, the movements of the movable electrode create a spark, and this spark sets off a series of cascading events which rapidly reduce the current and voltage through the varistor.

The ROV14H681K is well-suited for a variety of applications, such as surge protection for sensitive electrical circuits, electromechanical protection, telecom switches & lines, power supplies, and AC controls. It can also be used for protection against electrical shock, high voltage transients, and EMC. It is highly reliable, and comes with a safety rating of UL & cUL. Its compact housing is designed to conform to safety standards and fit into small spaces.

In summary, the ROV14H681K is a reliable bidirectional, temperature-compensated, radial-leaded varistor with a breakdown voltage of 681V. It is well-suited for surge protection, electromechanical protection, telecom switches & lines, power supplies, and AC controls, and it can also be used for protection against electrical shock, high voltage transients, and EMC. Its compact housing is designed to conform to safety standards and fit into small spaces, and it comes with a safety rating of UL & cUL.
