V18MLA0603T

Input overvoltage protection, or transient voltage suppression (TVS), is a vital element of any electronic design. TVS diodes are commonly used to protect components from high voltage transients. Varistors, Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) and Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are all part of the TVS family used in electronics.

V18MLA0603T Overview

The V18MLA0603T is a overvoltage protection device designed to protect against transient overvoltages. It is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) made up of two varistors, which are ceramic disc-shaped components with parallel electrodes. This device can handle a peak current of 470A, and its working voltage range is 14V to 28V.

V18MLA0603T Application Fields

This device has a wide range of application fields, especially in the electronic industry. It can be used in communication systems, medical and measurement equipment, power supplies and other product categories. It is widely used as transient overvoltage protection in any electronic device where its peak current of 470A and its working voltage range of 14V to 28V makes it the ideal solution.

The V18MLA0603T can be used as an alternative to the PicoGuard 0130, PicoGuard 0131, and PicoGuard 0139. It provides the same level of overvoltage protection at lower cost.

V18MLA0603T Working Principle

The V18MLA0603T Transient Voltage Suppressor consists of two varistors, which are ceramic disc-shaped components with parallel electrodes. When a voltage spike, or transient, occurs across the two varistors, the two varistors act as resistors, dissipating the energy of the transient. This helps protect the connected equipment from damage due to over voltages.

The V18MLA0603T is designed to operate at peak currents of up to 470A and between a voltage range of 14V to 28V. This makes it ideal for applications requiring protection from overvoltage transients.

Conclusion

The V18MLA0603T is a Transient Voltage Suppressor designed to protect electronic devices from overvoltage transients. It is composed of two varistors with working voltage range of 14V to 28V and peak current of 470A. It is an economical solution for input overvoltage protection and can be used in a wide range of applications in the electronic industry.
