A transient voltage suppressor (TVS), also known as a surge suppressor, is a type of electronic component used to prevent damage from exposure to electrical transients and surges in any type of electronic system. It is usually placed between a power source and a vulnerable component. Examples of common transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices are varistors, Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) and Silicon Avalanche Diodes (SADs).

The VC120618A400DP is a metal oxide varistor (MOV) with a 12mm disk package. It is manufactured by Bourns Incorporation, a leading provider of components and solutions in the industrial electronic, computer, automotive, communications, healthcare, consumer electronics & entertainment, information technology and imaging markets. The VC120618A400DP is a RoHS and REACH compliant transient voltage suppressor (TVS) device.

The VC120618A400DP is designed for transient voltage suppression in low and high-frequency applications such as automotive, telecommunications and power supplies. It is able to suppress transients from a wide variety of sources including AC/DC switching, ESD, lightning and can be used in any application where short-term voltage spikes need to be suppressed. It has a 400W peak power dissipation, and a maximum clamping voltage of 18V. The device features a low temperature co-efficient to allow for reliable operation over a wide temperature range.

The working principle of the VC120618A400DP is similar to that of other MOVs. The device works by providing a very low resistance path to ground when faced with a transient. This low resistance path to ground safely dissipates the transient energy into the ground, protecting the vulnerable components in the system. The device is able to recognize transients in the range of low to high-frequency and will respond instantly to protect the system. The device is designed to respond within a few nanoseconds and will remain conductive until the transient has dissipated.

The VC120618A400DP is a great choice for protecting circuits against transient voltage spikes. It is designed to be used in a wide range of application fields, such as automotive, telecommunications and power supplies. It is compliant with RoHS and REACH, meaning it meets a variety of safety requirements and is an environmental friendly device. The device also features a low temperature coefficient, meaning it can be used reliably in a wide temperature range.
