TMOV20RP385EL1B1

TVS - Varistors, MOVs are components typically used in power supply systems to provide protection against electrical transients and surges. The TMOV20RP385EL1B1 is a 20 mm diameter varistor and Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) device designed to protect against voltage transients and spikes. It offers protection against transient induced transients of up to 24kA.

The TMOV20RP385EL1B1 has a voltage rating of up to 4.5kV peak, a maximum surge current of 10 kA, and an EMI/RFI filtering feature. It has a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and can withstand surge current up to 24kA. In addition, the TMOV20RP385EL1B1 features an attractively small package size of 20 mm in diameter, making it an ideal choice for applications that require protection in tight spaces.

The TMOV20RP385EL1B1 is designed to protect against voltage transients and spikes. It uses a combination of varistors and TVS diodes to divert and dissipate overvoltage transient before it can damage circuitry. The varistor is a discrete device that provides surge protection against electrical transients larger than the expected voltage levels, while the TVS diode also provides surge protection in the form of an avalanche breakdown voltage. When the overvoltage transient reaches a predetermined voltage level, the varistor is triggered and diverts the transient energy away from the load. This then causes a surge current to flow through the varistor, causing the varistor to breakdown and dissipate the transient. The TVS diode works in a similar manner, but it operates at a much higher voltage level.

The TMOV20RP385EL1B1 is suitable for a variety of applications including power supplies, medical electronics, telecom infrastructure and industrial control systems. It is also suitable for a wide range of frequencies and voltages making it an ideal choice for protecting against overvoltage transients. The product is UL, CUL, and VDE certified and RoHS compliant.

In conclusion, the TMOV20RP385EL1B1 is an ideal choice for applications that require protection against overvoltage transients. It offers protection against transients up to 24kA, has an attractive package size of 20 mm and has a wide operating temperature range. The product is also UL, CUL, and VDE certified and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
