Varistors, also known as voltage-dependent or voltage-dependent resistors (VDRs), are two-terminal non-linear semiconductor devices that exhibit a relatively large variation in electrical resistance depending on applied voltage.

The V56ZS20P varistor series is specifically designed for surge protection applications. It features a robust and symmetrical design along with a low leakage current and high clamping voltage. This makes the V56ZS20P ideal for devices subject to hard swells, such as personal computers, home appliances, telecom equipment, and automotive electronics.

An important part of surge protection is to ensure that the device is engaged to dissipate energy from a surge before it passes through sensitive electronics. This is accomplished by triggering the device’s fast response time following a voltage surge.

Varistors, such as the V56ZS20P, are designed to automatically engage upon an increase in voltage, thus providing surge protection. They are also designed to protect against overvoltages by automatically reducing the output voltage to a safe level.

The V56ZS20P utilizes a metal-oxide varistor element where two semiconductor contacts and a dielectric layer are placed together. The two contacts are made of an insulating layer, while the dielectric layer is made of a metal oxide, usually zinc oxide. When a voltage is applied across the element, an electric field is generated which creates a strong attraction between the two contacts. This attraction causes current to flow through the element and thus acts as a resistor.

The V56ZS20P has a clamping voltage of 246 volts peak and a capacitance of 6.1 nF. It has superior characteristics with outstanding surge pulse power handling capability and high reliability. Both the clamping voltage and response time are specified for long-term reliability.

The V56ZS20P can also be used to protect against indoor or outdoor lightning strikes. When an external lightning strike occurs, its current will flow through the surge protector, and the varistor will dissipate the energy, thus protecting the internal circuitry. As a result, the V56ZS20P provides a reliable source of protection in areas prone to lightning strikes.

The V56ZS20P series is also suitable for protecting communication processes from high voltage spikes. Combined with TVS diodes, the V56ZS20P series provides excellent protection against ESD, EMI, and high frequency spikes. The superior surge pulse power handling capability makes it ideal for use in communication applications.

The V56ZS20P is a reliable and affordable surge protection solution for a wide range of applications. Its robust design and superior protection characteristics make it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronics from damage caused by voltage spikes and surges. With its fast response time and high clamping voltage, the V56ZS20P is the perfect choice for surge protection applications.
