TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes (or Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor Diodes) are used mainly for surge and ESD protection. Varistors (variable resistor) and MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) are two types of TVS diodes widely used for their protective characteristics. The V20E460PL2B is one of many varistors offered by Littelfuse.

A varistor is a voltage dependent resistor, typically a two-terminal solid state component. It is composed of two electrodes sandwiched between a sandwiched dielectric material. The V20E460PL2B has an operating voltage of 9.0 - 420 VAC, and a nominal breakdown voltage of 460 Volts. It also has a current rating of 20A max, and a surge response time of 0.5µs max.

The V20E460PL2B is well suited for use in a wide variety of applications such as computers, telecommunications, entertainment electronics, office automation, and many other consumer devices. This is because it offers high surge current capability (up to 20A) and a wide operating voltage range (9.0–420 VAC). The varistor also has a low EMI signature, allowing for better control of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The working principle of the V20E460PL2B is quite simple. When the voltage applied to it is below its breakdown voltage, the varistor acts like an insulator, not allowing any current to flow. However, when the voltage applied to the varistor exceeds its breakdown voltage, it starts to conduct and provide a path for the current to flow. This is how the varistor helps protect other components from the high voltage spikes associated with surges and ESD events.

In addition to protection against surges and ESD events, the V20E460PL2B also has some other great features. It has a maximum leakage current of 1mA at 25°C, a power dissipation rating of 0.45 W, and a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. It also has an excellent energy dissipation capabilities, allowing it to handle large surge currents without overheating or failing. All of these features make the V20E460PL2B a great choice for a wide variety of applications.

Overall, the V20E460PL2B is a great solution for high current applications that require high surge protection and ESD protection. It is easy to use, and its wide operating voltage range allows it to be used in a variety of applications. Its low EMI signature also makes it a great choice for applications where EMI control is important. All of these traits make it a great option for anyone looking for a reliable and effective solution for their application.
