V140LT5CP

Varistors, also known as voltage-dependent resistors (VDRs), are components where electric current is proportional to applied voltage. These components can help protect sensitive electronic equipment and circuits from voltage spikes, momentary power outages, and noise generated by other circuits. TVS, or transient-voltage-suppression diodes, are components designed to protect sensitive electronics from high-energy electrical transients such as switching surges or lightning. Metal-oxide varistor (MOV) devices are a common variety of voltage-dependent resistors that use semiconductor technology to provide a wide range of voltage regulation. The V140LT5CP is an application-specific TVS diode/MOV combination from Littelfuse.

The unique features of the V140LT5CP makes it an excellent choice for applications that require protection from transients with an operating voltage of 5 to 140V. It offers lower capacitance, very low dynamic resistance, and excellent clamping performance over a wide range of operating voltages. In addition, the V140LT5CP offers a high VRM (Voltage Rated Maximum) of 550V and a high Peak Pulse Power rating of 24kW. This allows it to safely handle electrical surges up to 20A.

The V140LT5CP is well-suited for use in circuits that may experience electrical transients such as automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. It is particularly well-suited for power supplies, solar inverters, and motor control applications. In these applications, the V140LT5CP can provide the necessary protection from high-energy voltage transients.

The working principle of the V140LT5CP is based on the behavior of a voltage-dependent resistor. When the voltage across the V140LT5CP exceeds a certain threshold, the resistance of the component changes drastically. This sudden change in resistance results in a “clamping” action, which limits the voltage across the device to a predetermined value and ensures the protection of the circuit from high-energy transients.

The V140LT5CP is built with advanced semiconductor technology and cutting-edge design methods to provide superior transient protection. It features a 6-layer low-leakage design that provides excellent clamping performance. In addition, the component’s low dynamic resistance of 0.1Ω ensures that the device has low operating losses and excellent clamping efficiency.

The V140LT5CP is an extremely reliable and durable electrical protection device designed to protect sensitive equipment and circuits from damaging transients. Its advanced technologies provide excellent protection against electrical transients while delivering excellent performance. The V140LT5CP is an ideal choice for protecting high-voltage applications in the automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial markets.
