V1000LU160BPXL3B

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are responsible for protecting the electronic equipment from overvoltages, particularly in signal, power, and data lines, as well as the protection of AC circuits from low voltage surges. TVS will effectively dissipate the surge energy through the devices and ground to protect them from any over-voltage condition by acting as a fast response clamp.

Varistors (MOVs) are devices used to protect the sensitive electronic equipment from high-voltage transients. MOVs are bidirectional voltage dependent resistors that are designed for working at AC and DC voltages. MOVs have a reation technique that protects against breakdown and damage due to overvoltages. The varistor material is made up of zinc oxide discs that are separated by an insulation layer.

The V1000LU160BPXL3B is a surge protector that offers reliable protection against surges and overvoltage. The V1000LU160BPXL3B is part of the series of low capacity, temperature compensated, non-retriggerable surge protection devices. The device offers superior protection by clamping voltage to 160VDC and operating voltage of 200V, and also features a low capacitance of 0.35pF with low leakage current.

The application field of the V1000LU160BPXL3B includes AC line entry, motor control, automotive, LED/ LCD displays, telecommunications, and many other industrial applications where there is a need to protect against dangerous surges or overvoltages. It is suitable for a variety of equipment, both even those used in outdoor and indoor environments.

The working principle of the V1000LU160BPXL3B is quite simple. It is a two terminal device, with the first terminal being the upgoing/anode and the second being the downgoing/cathode. When the surge voltage across the device reaches the threshold voltage, the V1000LU160BPXL3B starts to conduct current, thus clamping the surge voltage within the device. The current is harmlessly diverted to ground instead of entering the load so the electronic device is protected from voltage spikes.

The V1000LU160BPXL3B is a useful and reliable surge protector which is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its low capacitance and low leakage current make it suitable for protecting against dangerous surges and overvoltages, allowing delicate electronics to remain safe from any damage.
