V14H60P

The V14H60P is a voltage surge suppressor used mainly for transient overvoltage protection. It belongs to a class of devices called transil varistors, which offer an particularly effective solution to transient overvoltage protection problems. It is designed to temporarily limit excessive voltage and current in order to protect sensitive electronics from damage and destruction. It does this by clamping the voltage to a known and safe level, ensuring the electrical safety of the equipment.

The V14H60P is a disc-shaped, two-terminal, metal-oxide varistor (MOV) manufactured by Panasonic. It has a maximum voltage rating of 14 VDC and an open-circuit clamping voltage of 60 V. This type of device is typically used in TV sets, personal computers, voltage protection systems, and various other AC-DC conversion applications. The device is also suitable for parallel and series operation.

The basic operation of the V14H60P is based on junction-capacitance current, which occurs when an electrical voltage is applied across the device. When a voltage exceeding the clamping voltage is applied, current begins to flow and the voltage is effectively clamped. This action provides transient overvoltage protection in surge conditions and is effective in reducing damage to sensitive electronics.

The V14H60P is constructed of two semiconductor layers separated by a dielectric layer. The bottom layer, or cathode, is typically made of silicon while the top layer, or anode, is composed of zinc oxide. When a voltage is applied across the device, current flows into the anode where it is trapped by junction-capacitance. This current ultimately flows back through the device and protective circuitry.

The V14H60P provides maximum overvoltage protection up to a specific maximum voltage. It is also designed to protect against repetitive surges and fast transients. The device is constructed with an optimized di/dt rating capability that helps reduce the risk of the device being damaged by overvoltage surges. The V14H60P also provides a low capacitance solution and a high surge strength, making it an ideal solution for AC-DC and DC-DC applications.

The V14H60P is a reliable solution for transient overvoltage protection. It can be used in many applications where a simple, yet effective, overvoltage protection solution is needed. The device is designed to provide maximum protection up to a certain maximum voltage and is also capable of handling repetitive surges and fast transients. It is well suited for applications where a reliable solution and high surge strength are required.
