V140LA20AP

The V140LA20AP is a Varistor, MOV, used for electrical protection in applications. Varistors, also known as Voltage Dependent Resistor (VDRs), are voltage-sensitive resistors designed to absorb surges and protect sensitive components from damage. Varistors have become popular in recent years due to their low cost and consistent performance.

The V140LA20AP is an SMD type varistor, a surface mount device, that comes in a 14 mm x 21mm size with a 1.4N/mm displacement. It offers consistent performance in alternating current applications from 9V to 20 V. The device has a standard resistance of 19 KOhm and a high resistance of 0.2 KOhm, allowing it to be used in a wide range of applications.

The working principle of the V140LA20AP is fairly simple. When the input voltage exceeds the threshold value, the electrical current is diverted to an internal resistor, limiting the current and protecting the system from further damage. The varistor will then clamp the voltage to a safe level to ensure that it does not damage the device.

The V140LA20AP is commonly used in electronic and computer systems, telecoms, automotive and industrial equipment. The device provides efficient voltage suppression and current limiting, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is also able to withstand shocks and vibration, making it ideal for use in harsh environments.

Overall, the V140LA20AP is an effective, low-cost, and reliable Varistor, MOV that offers efficient voltage suppression and current limiting for a range of applications. It is a compact, surface-mount device with a standard resistance of 19 KOhm, and a high resistance of 0.2 KOhm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
