V420LA10

Varistors, MOVs, and transorbs (surge arrestor devices, SADs) are used to protect a variety of electrical equipment from over-voltage damage. The V420LA10 is one such device, with a rated voltage of 400V and a peak current rating of 10kA. Manufactured by Littelfuse, this TVS diode is designed to provide a high level of protection in a wide range of industrial applications.

The V420LA10 provides over-voltage protection for electronic circuits in diverse environments, from military and aerospace to consumer electronic components. It can protect both AC and DC systems and is suitable for use in a wide range of temperature conditions, from -55C to +125C. Its metal alloy junction technology lowers its capacitance and ensures a highly effective voltage protection even at high temperature. Additionally, the V420LA10 has been tested to meet or exceed UL and IEC standards.

These devices are designed to withstand high surge currents while preventing over-voltage conditions. The V420LA10 has a response time of less than 1ns, which means it can effectively suppress most surge events. As it is made with low-inductance construction, the V420LA10 is resistant to generate noise or hurt the performance of sensitive circuitry.

The working principle of a TVS diode is simple. It employs an avalanche breakdown mechanism to divert short current pulse away from a protected load. When a voltage surge occurs, the diode begins to conduct current and its breakdown voltage is reached. This triggers a sudden, large increase in the device\'s conduction, which limits the surge and protects the circuitry from damage.

The V420LA10 demonstrates excellent performance in the field of over-voltage protection. It features a low capacitance and a wide range of surge current ratings, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications. Additionally, its low inductance structure eliminates the possibility of signal interference. The device is designed to meet a wide range of industry requirements, including military and aerospace standards.

The V420LA10 is a great choice for protection against over-voltage conditions. It offers effective protection for electronic equipment and devices in the most demanding environments. The device is built with the latest technology and designed to meet the highest standards. It is a reliable solution for protecting delicate circuitries and ensuring a safe and uninterrupted operation.
