TMOV20RP275E Datasheet/PDFTVS or transient voltage suppressors are the most efficient voltage regulator devices which provide protection from electrical transients and overvoltage surges. Varistors and MOVs (metal oxide varistors) are two types of most popular TVS solutions. The TMOV20RP275E is one such surge protector which has wide application fields and an effective working principle.
Application Fields
The TMOV20RP275E offers superior protection against over-voltage and transients and is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as AC/DC adapters, TVs, microwaves, washing machines, digital cameras and more. It is ideal for protecting against transients that are caused by events such as lightning, ESD (electrostatic discharge) and EMC (electromagnetic interference). It can also be used to protect devices from power supply issues.
Working Principle
The TMOV20RP275 is an MOV (metal oxide varistor) device, which works by providing electrical conduction when a voltage surge or transient appear on its terminals. It works on the principle of controlled breakdown, which is similar to a Zener diode. When the applied voltage goes above a certain threshold (the rated or working voltage) the encapsulated MOV allows current to flow through it and conduct the excessive electrical surge away from the protected object. It is also able to react to voltage changes quickly, which helps to protect any connected electric equipment.
The TMOV20RP275E is a two leaded metal oxide voltage suppressor with visible chip design. It is built using high insulation material and is resistant to moisture, temperature and vibration. It has a wide voltage and capacitance tolerance range, and a wide working temperature range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Conclusion
The TMOV20RP275E is a surge protector which has wide application field and a reliable working principle to provide the best possible shelter against electrical transients and over-voltage surges. Its features make it perfect for a number of devices, such as TVs and digital cameras, and it is also able to protect other electric equipment from power supply issues. It is a reliable and cost effective solution for a wide range of applications.
