V26MLA1206NT

TVS - Varistors, MOVs

The V26MLA1206NT is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) device that provides protection from high voltage or ESD transient events. It is available in a 1206 package and offers high reliability characteristics for ESD and overvoltage protection applications. This device consists of a silicone diode that is connected to a metal oxide voltage dependent resistor (MOV).

Application Fields of V26MLA1206NT

The V26MLA1206NT is commonly used in automotive applications, especially in high voltage power supply, where it provides efficient and high reliability overvoltage, ESD and surge protection. It is also suitable for use in applications such as LED lighting, power supply, I/O ports, telecommunications, telecom systems, and control and instrumentation.

Working Principle of V26MLA1206NT

The V26MLA1206NT utilizes a MOV to provide protection from overvoltage and ESD transient events. It works by absorbing and diverting the high voltage through the mov. The mov is composed of two elements, a metal oxide resistor and a silicon diode. The metal oxide resistor acts as a resistance to the high voltage and the silicon diode prevents the current from flowing back to the original source. The combination of the two elements forms a nonlinear circuit, which can absorb large transient events and limit the current.

The V26MLA1206NT comes with a voltage rating of 24V and can withstand overvoltage up to 600V. It also offers a low on-state resistance of 10mΩ and can provide up to 2A of peak current protection. The device also offers fast response times and is able to absorb transient pulses within 1.5 nanoseconds.

In summary, the V26MLA1206NT TVS device provides effective and reliable protection from high voltage and ESD transient events. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications and is also cost-effective and easy to use. With its low on-state resistance and fast response times, it is an ideal choice for safeguarding sensitive components and protecting device integrity.
