V360RA16X2749

Varistors, also known as voltage dependent resistors (VDRs) or varicap diodes, are non-linear, two-terminal electronic components that are used to protect sensitive electronic devices from transient surge voltages caused by over-voltage and electrostatic discharge. The V360RA16X2749 is a voltage dependent resistor designed to protect equipment from transient voltage surges such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and inductive switching.

The V360RA16X2749 is a radial leaded, surface mount varistor specifically designed to protect against high surge voltage protection. It is designed for board level protection in desktop computers, server systems, telecommunications equipment, and any other electronic device or system. It is designed to clamp transient voltage spike, providing protection up to 27V for applications with 5V operating voltage.

The V360RA16X2749 has a power rating of 1.5W with minimal heat dissipation. It is a low capacitance component, which helps minimize current reflections on the board. The device has a clamping voltage of 25V to 27V with a peak pulse current up to 1200A. The device is rated for operation from -40C to +85C.

The design and construction of the V360RA16X2749 make it an ideal solution for high-frequency applications. The device is a varistor that acts in a similar way to a zener diode, the difference being that the V360RA16X2749 has a more linear resistance response than a zener diode. The device is constructed from nickel ferrite sintered material that has a large maximum peak current (Ipp) handling capability. The metal oxide layers act as a gate to the resistance, allowing the varistor to reduce the voltage when the voltage rises beyond its threshold.

The working principle of the V360RA16X2749 is simple. When a voltage exceeds the knee voltage, the device will start to conduct. This conduction will reduce the voltage to the device’s threshold voltage. The device is designed to limit the current to bursts of up to 1200A, with a maximum peak pulse current handling of 2000A.

The V360RA16X2749 is an ideal device for surge protection in a variety of applications. It provides low capacitance, minimal heat dissipation, high peak current handling capability, and fast response. It is designed to protect against transient over-voltage transients, such as ESD or inductive switching.

In summary, the V360RA16X2749 is a voltage dependent resistor designed to protect against transient voltage surge such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and inductive switching. It has a very high peak current handling capability of up to 2000A and a fast response time. It is suitable for a wide range of applications from desktop computers to telecommunications systems.
