TVS (Transorb/Transient Voltage Suppression) and MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) are two popular terms used when discussing surge protective components. Although they are very similar in terms of design, function and applications, there are still some differences between them.

The V27ZU60PX10 is a type of TVS designed primarily for polymeric applications and is intended to defend against short and long duration surges. TVS devices are diodes designed to withstand high voltage over a short period of time. In its simple form it consists of a zener diode and a breakdown diode. Zener diodes have the ability to conduct current in reverse direction, which is used to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes. In case of excessive voltage, the breakdown diode is triggered, which operates to reduce the voltage to the safe level. Thus, TVS devices act as a safety measure when subjected to high current or voltage.

The V27ZU60PX10 is a polymeric TVS, which means that it has a higher surge current and an improved response time when compared to standard TVS devices. Its surge current rating is 240A (8/20μs waveform) and its surge energy rating is 1.65kJ. The device has a low capacitance of 2.2pF, which is important in applications where edge speed is important.

Besides being used for short-term and long-term surge protection, the V27ZU60PX10 is also used in EMI/RFI filtering applications. This TVS is also designed with a low leakage current of 5μA at 6.5V, which makes it ideal for low power applications.

MOV, on the other hand, is a passive voltage-dependent non-linear device commonly used for transient voltage suppression. It is composed of metal oxide and is designed in such a way that when subjected to volatge spikes, it contains the sudden voltage increase and maintains a constant voltage level. MOV devices come in both single and multipole versions, and are available in different ratings for which the protective functions and response times vary.

In contrast to TVS devices, MOV devices consist of several small pellets that are connected in series, and generate an infinite resistance when voltage exceeds the designed voltage level. This reaction causes MOVs to activate and absorb the energy before dissipating it in the form of heat. The MOV will remain in an activated state until the voltage drops back to its original operating level, after which its resistance level will drop back to normal.

The V27ZU60PX10 and MOV can both be used for transient voltage suppression applications, but they differ in terms of how they react and absorb the surge energy. The V27ZU60PX10 is designed to absorb the energy over a short period of time, while the MOV device provides more uniform protection over a longer period of time. Additionally, the V27ZU60PX10 has a higher surge current rating and a lower capacitance, which make it ideal for edge speed applications and low-power applications.

In conclusion, the characteristics of the V27ZU60PX10 and MOV devices make them suitable for a variety of applications, including short and long duration surges, low power applications, and EMI/RFI filtering. The main difference between them lies in their response to voltages surges, with the V27ZU60PX10 providing fast surge protection and the MOV providing more gradual protection over a longer time.
