V07P320PL1TX2855

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors), Varistors, and MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) are used in various fields to protect against short-term over-voltages. The V07P320PL1TX2855 is a type of TVS from the Alpha and Omega Semiconductor family. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this particular TVS.

The application field of the V07P320PL1TX2855 is primarily electrical and electronic systems that need protection from transient over-voltages. The device is rated at 320 volts Claas B and has a typical response time of 10 ns. With an impulse testing voltage of 8 kV, it is ideal for a variety of applications ranging from automotive to consumer electronics. Protection in these systems is important, as even a small voltage spike can cause permanent damage to sensitive electronics.

The working principle of the V07P320PL1TX2855 is based on its Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) technology. Its cylindrical structure consists of a core of a special mixture of magnetite and other oxides. In the absence of over-voltage,the device acts as an open circuit, allowing current to flow freely. When an over-voltage is applied, the Metal Oxide Varistor begins to conduct. The voltage across the device rises until it reaches its breakdown voltage, and then the current is limited to a safe value.

The V07P320PL1TX2855 has an excellent thermal and electrical stability, with a maximum junction temperature of 125°C and a maximum leakage current of 1 mA. The device also offers a peak pulse power rating of 5000 W and is in compliance with the industry standards for safety according to IEC 60143-5 and UL 60384-3 standards. In addition, the TVS has an epoxy encapsulation with a height of 1.05 mm.

In summary, the V07P320PL1TX2855 is a type of TVS from the Alpha and Omega Semiconductor family. The application field of this device is primarily electrical and electronic systems that need protection from transient over-voltages with a maximum voltage of 320 volts Claas B and a typical response time of 10 ns. The working principle of the V07P320PL1TX2855 is based on its Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) technology, where the device acts as an open circuit in the absence of over-voltage, and conducts when an over-voltage is applied. The device has a maximum junction temperature of 125°C and a maximum leakage current of 1 mA, and offers good thermal and electrical stability.
