TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) devices are components that are used for transient voltage protection. Varistors, MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors), and their related VC0805K121R025 are all part of this family. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the VC0805K121R025.

Application Field

The VC0805K121R025 is an automated protective device for ESD (electrostatic discharge). It is particularly used in applications within the automotive industry. Additionally, this component is used in other environments with high humidity such as amphibious vehicles and central heating systems. Because of its high surge current capabilities, the VC0805K121R025 is also suitable for use in power supply systems.

Working Principle

The VC0805K121R025 is a non-linear device made of a ceramic body filled with zinc oxide which is structured in a specific way. It works by clamping the level of the transient voltage at a specific voltage and allowing only the desired voltage to flow to the system. Since the VC0805K121R025 is a three-terminal component, it has a common symmetric line with two output terminals.

The VC0805K121R025 is designed to react to changes in the flow of current while maintaining a stable resistance. Initially, when the current is low, within normal operating conditions, the device will show a high resistance because of the Zinc-Oxide structure. However, when the current rises above the designed threshold (high surge current) the structure of the VC0805K121R025 shifts, allowing it to absorb the current overload and protect the system from an excessive voltage surge.

The threshold current of the VC0805K121R025 starts at 900 Volts and ends at 1.15KV Current. This threshold is maintained by the internal current limiter, which can absorb more current as the voltage rises. This is due to a field effect in the Zinc Oxide structure, which causes it to become more conductive with increasing voltage.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the VC0805K121R025 is an automated protective device for ESD and other high-current applications. It works by clamping the voltage at a specific level and absorbing excessive voltage surges. Additionally, it is relatively easy to install and use and has high surge current capabilities. All of these factors make the VC0805K121R025 an ideal choice for automotive, power supply, and central heating systems.
