V385LT40CP

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) and Vari-sitors, such as the V385LT40CP, are protective components designed to suppress voltage transients in electronics circuits. The components dissipate the energy associated with the transient by clamping the voltage to a safe level. It provides a robust circuit protection in the event of a surge or spike.

Application Field

The V385LT40CP can be used in a variety of applications, especially in power supplies, as well as other consumer and computing electronics. It can be used in power supplies that require surge protection such as AC/DC converters, switching power supplies, and more. It can also be used in automotive applications such as Headlamp Levelers, Transformer Modules, and Automotive Monitoring Systems.

The V385LT40CP provides excellent clamping performance, superior surge handling capabilities, and reliable operation in a wide range of operating temperatures. It is also designed to withstand high power surges up to 8x60μs.

Working Principle

TVS and Varistors such as the V385LT40CP work by protecting a circuit from transient voltages. When the voltage rises above a certain level, the component will ‘clamp’ the voltage, dissipating the energy and protecting the circuit. This is achieved by the component’s metal-oxide-varistors (MOVs) which absorb the energy, dissipating it in the form of heat.

The V385LT40CP is designed to have low clamping voltages and a high surge current handling capability. This allows the component to handle higher power surges without damaging the circuit. It is capable of withstanding voltages up to 80V and current up to 120A. The component also has a high operating temperature range of -40℃ to +125℃, allowing it to protect circuits in a variety of extreme conditions.

Conclusion

The V385LT40CP TVS and Varistor is a robust and reliable protective component designed to handle power surges in a wide range of applications. It can be used in power supplies, automotive applications, and other consumer and computing electronics. It is designed with low clamping voltages and a high operating temperature range, allowing it to protect circuits in a variety of extreme conditions. The V385LT40CP is an excellent choice for reliable circuit protection.
