TVS stands for Transient Voltage Suppressor and these devices are used to limit spikes in electrical systems. Varistors, also known as Voltage Dependent Resistors (VDRs), are used to protect against excessive transient voltages and currents. There are various types of these devices with different characteristics, such as voltage clamping, noise filtering and current limiting. The V120ZA20PX10 is a specific type of TVS, most commonly used in applications requiring protection from transient overvoltage.

Application Field

The V120ZA20PX10 is a surface mount TVS for automotive and commercial communication systems. It has a low capacitance of 1pF and low inductance of 1nH which allows it to react quickly in transient overvoltage conditions. It is typically used in automotive and commercial communication systems, such as phone lines, bus lines, power supplies, and data lines. The device is specifically designed to protect according to the applicable international standards, such as IEC 61024-1 and SAE J1845.

Working Principle

The V120ZA20PX10 works by diverting transient currents away from the protected device. The device has a high surge capability of 120A. The working principle of this type of TVS is based on a non-linear resistance which increases with increases in voltage. This leads to a reduction in the voltage seen by the protected device and hence ensuring that it remains protected. When the protection circuit is activated, it will clamp the voltage and current at the rated value, thus preventing any kind of damage to the connected devices.

Conclusion

The V120ZA20PX10 is a robust and reliable overvoltage protection device specifically designed for automotive and commercial communication systems. It has a high surge capability and low capacitance and inductance which allows it to effectively protect against transient overvoltage and transient currents. The device works by diverting these transient currents away from the protected device, thus ensuring that it remains safe from any type of damage.
