TVS – Varistors, MOVs are used everywhere in the electronic industry. They provide a reliable, low cost way of protecting circuits from over voltage transients. The V18ZA20P is one such device. This application note will discuss the various applications and the various working principles of V18ZA20P.

The V18ZA20P is a surface mounted varistor, which is capable of withstanding transient voltages up to 8V in 10/1000µs impulses. It can be used for overvoltage protection in the range of 3V – 8V. It is also capable of handling high power spikes of up to 30kV.

One of the main applications of the V18ZA20P is in automotive systems. It provides protection from overvoltage on electronic systems such as engine ECUs, ABS modules, and instrument clusters. Additionally, it can be used to protect sensors and actuators that are exposed to environmental conditions that may generate overvoltage transients.

Another major application of the V18ZA20P is in industrial machinery. It can be used to provide protection from high voltage surges and spikes that could be generated by motors or electronic devices. Additionally, it can be used to protect industrial systems from overvoltage transients caused by failure of electrical systems.

The working principle of the V18ZA20P is based on its impedance characteristic. The device has an impedance that increases rapidly when exposed to an overvoltage condition. This high impedance reduces the amount of current that can flow through the device, thus limiting the amount of energy that is transferred to the protected circuit. Additionally, the device has a low clamping voltage, meaning it is able to clamp the overvoltage before it reaches the protected circuit.

The V18ZA20P is also able to withstand electrostatic discharges (ESD) up to 8kV. This is achieved by its internal insulation system, which is capable of preventing the overvoltage from reaching the protected circuit. Additionally, the device is designed with robust construction and high temperature stability, meaning it is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.

In addition to the above mentioned applications and working principles of the V18ZA20P, the device also offers a number of other benefits. It has a high surge current capability, meaning it is able to withstand strong current surges without any issue. Additionally, its low profile allows for easier installation in tight spaces. The device is also available in a range of sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

In conclusion, the V18ZA20P is an excellent choice for applications that require a reliable and low cost form of overvoltage protection. It is capable of withstanding transients up to 8V, and can provide protection from ESD up to 8kV. The device is also highly reliable and easy to install, making it a popular choice for many electronic applications.
