V14P275

TVSs (transient voltage suppressors) are nonlinear devices used to protect sensitive electronic circuits from destructive transient voltage and current surges. They are usually “crowbar” type devices or have internal surge current limitation which limits the average current through the device. Varistors, MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors), or PTCs (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficients) are common types of TVSs. V14P275 is a type of MOV used to suppress transients of incremental magnitudes that can disrupt the functioning of electronic equipment.

Application field and Working Principle

V14P275 is used in AC power lines, highway systems, automotive control systems, and general industrial electronics. It is designed to suppress transient overvoltage that could otherwise cause destruction of various electrical components. This MOV is especially effective in high-frequency AC applications in which it serves to protect the component from the peak transients. When the MOV is energized, its lower impedance temporarily reduces the surge current and dissipates it in the form of heat.

The V14P275 has a wide operating temperature range of -55 to 125 C, making it suitable for a variety of harsh environments. It is also designed with a press-fit construction that ensures proper heat dissipating ability, providing reliable protection against surge voltage. The V14P275 also features dual terminals for adjustable installation and easy series and parallel connections.

The working principle of the V14P275 involves two steps. First, current is limited by the device in order to reduce the transient energy entering the circuit. The device achieves this by having a low impedance when activated. Second, the absorbed energy is dissipated as heat. This is done by the clamping action of the MOV\'s controlled breakdown voltage.

The V14P275 is an extremely versatile surge protector device that is found in a wide variety of applications. Its features, such as wide operating temperature range and press-fit construction, make it a reliable choice for circuit protection. With its dual terminals, it is also easy to install and provides a reliable current limitation to protect components against destructive transients.
