V68ZS05P

TVS (transient voltage suppressor) devices are used in electronic systems to protect components from electrical transients. Varistors, Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) and other TVS devices help to absorb and dissipate fast voltage transients (also known as a surge or spike). The V68ZS05P is a Varistor device with a peak pulse current of 5kA.

Varistors are often referred to as voltage dependent resistors (VDRs) as the resistance of the device is dependent on the voltage it is exposed to. When the voltages across the device exceed a certain threshold (breakover voltage) the device becomes conductive and is used to absorb large amounts of energy. This large absorption capacity gives the device the ability to protect the system from high energy transients.

The V68ZS05P Varistor consists of a zinc oxide pellet that is housed in an environmentally sealed package. The device itself has no moving parts so it is particularly well suited for applications where reliability and low maintenance is required. The V68ZS05P has a peak pulse power rating of 700W and a rated current of 20A. The device has a typical voltage stand-off at 10V with stand-off voltage range of 8-12V. The leakage current rating at 10V is 200nA.

The working principle of the V68ZS05P Varistor is based on the fact that when a voltage surge is applied to the device the resistance of the device drops significantly as the voltage across it increases. This allows the Varistor to absorb a large amount of current in a short amount of time. This in turn helps to protect the electronic system by dissipating the surge energy.

The V68ZS05P has a wide range of application field. In high voltage applications such as power supplies, UPS systems, surge suppressors and EMI filters, the Varistor can be used to protect against voltage transients. Low voltage applications such as automotive, low voltage power supplies, communications and industrial control systems can also benefit from using the V68ZS05P. In these systems the Varistor can protect the sensitive electronics from voltage transients by absorbing the energy of the surge.

Overall, the V68ZS05P Varistor is a useful device that can be used to protect electronic systems from transient voltage spikes and surges. The device has a high peak current rating and a wide operating voltage range. It can be used in a variety of applications and is particularly well suited for areas where reliability and low maintenance are key requirements.
