V3.5MLA0805LT

Varistors, or voltage dependent resistors, are an essential device used to limit the voltage spike that can be seen during electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. This is of particular importance in consumer and industrial electronics. The transient voltage suppression (TVS) device family, of which the V3.5MLA080LT is a member, is used extensively in these applications for the protection of sensitive components against overvoltages and ESD.

The V3.5MLA080LT TVS is a 4-terminal device rated for peak 8 kV (8/20 μsec) pulse power dissipation and 600 W (8/20 μsec) average power dissipation. It has a minimum breakdown voltage rating of 95 VDC. Its maximum clamping voltage is 10.2 V at 8 A, and it is rated for an operating temperature range of −55°C to +85°C. The device is RoHS compliant and is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards. It has an ultra-low capacitance of 3 pF, making it a suitable choice for protection against ESD and overvoltage threats, as well as other transient surges, in applications such as automotive, telecom, portable electronic, and other consumer electronics.

The V3.5MLA080LT uses a metal-oxide varistor (MOV) technology to clamp voltage and current overshoots to safe levels. The device is a reverse-biased diode, connected between two pins, that is able to dissipate large amounts of energy when a voltage overshoot occurs. When the voltage overshoot exceeds the device\'s threshold, it begins to conduct current, so as to divert the current from the protected circuit.

The V3.5MLA080LT is packaged in a SMD package with standard pinouts. The device has two separate contacts to allow direct connection to the protected circuit, as well as an isolated case to ensure the device does not introduce undesirable noise into the protected circuit. The device is also fully RoHS compliant for environmental safety, making it one of the most common MOV products used in consumer electronics.

In summary, the V3.5MLA080LT TVS device is an essential tool for the protection of sensitive components against overvoltages and ESD events in consumer and industrial electronics. It uses a metal-oxide varistor technology to provide fast and efficient clamping of voltage and current overshoots, and its low capacitance makes it suitable for use in a variety of applications. The device also has an isolated case to ensure that it does not introduce undesirable noise into the protected circuit, and is fully RoHS compliant.
