V140LU5P

A TVS - Varistors, MOVs is a voltage and current sensitive device that has become increasingly important in the electronic industry. The V140LU5P is a type of Varistor, Metal Oxide Varistor or MOV, developed by the Vishay Corporation. It is designed as a varistor with an adjustable resistance character.

The V140LU5P is a three-terminal surge suppressor which is suitable for the protection of data line and interface. It provides transient voltage protection to IT equipment as per IEC61000-4-5 standard. It is available in leaded, surface mount and ribbon cable packages. It provides overvoltage protection for downstream communication ports and ensures that signals remain within specified safety margins.

The V140LU5P has a patented LeapFrog technology which is designed to provide improved protection for high speed data ports, such as USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 and other high speed ports. It also has a low clamping voltage rating of 430 VCL (Maximum Clamp Voltage) and a low capacitance of 0.02 pf, making it ideal for data rate applications for trans-receiver IC\'s.

The V140LU5P operates by responding to signals that exceed the allowable values for a particular application. The device has an adjustable resistor character which allows it to sense the appropriate resistance value depending on the environment in which it is placed and to accurately control the clamping voltage. Once the voltage reaches the threshold level, the device will start to reduce the voltage through a reduction in resistance. This allows signals to remain within safety margins and protect the equipment in case of a voltage surge.

The V140LU5P is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as data receivers, modem lines, portable computers, cable modems, cell phones, point of sale equipment, peripherals, and many other electronic devices. This Varistor is designed to provide convenient and reliable overvoltage protection for such applications and can be used in a variety of environments.

In conclusion, the V140LU5P is a reliable MOV which provides high performance overvoltage protection for a wide range of applications. Its adjustable resistor character and LeapFrog technology make it an ideal solution for protecting sensitive electronics and data ports from voltage surge damage. It is able to protect signals from exceeding safe levels and ensures that the signal remains within safety margins.
