VDRS05C385TSE

The VDRS05C385TSE is a thermally protected Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) device that can protect circuits from destructive voltage transients induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD) or electrical fast transients (EFT). It is a bilateral varistor with removable overvoltage protection (MOV). MOVs are also sometimes referred to as varistors, and they work by dissipating energy across a component in order to reduce the voltage.This particular device is a combination of a bilateral varistor and MOV, and its main purpose is to reduce surge voltages to acceptable levels. It can protect connected equipment from overvoltage transients, meaning that the device can protect not only against lightning but also against other forms of surges. Moreover, it\'s thermally protected so that it won\'t be damaged by excessive temperatures.The VDRS05C385TSE consists of two chips: one containing the bilateral varistor and the other containing the MOV. The MOV is designed to break the connection when the voltage reaches a preset level. The bilateral varistor works by absorbing the voltage and dissipating it as heat. This helps to reduce the voltage and provides protection from surges in the range up to 5.5kV.The working principle of the VDRS05C385TSE is fairly simple. When a voltage transient occurs, the MOV breaks the circuit, thus protecting the connected equipment from the overvoltage. The bilateral varistor then absorbs the energy, dissipating it as heat and reducing the voltage. Lastly, the thermal protection helps to ensure that the device doesn\'t get damaged by excessive temperatures.The VDRS05C385TSE is the ideal device for use in a variety of applications, such as telecommunications, computers, modems, industrial control systems, audio/video systems, and LED lighting systems. It can provide fast and effective protection against voltage transients, providing reliable protection for equipment and systems from surges and spikes.The VDRS05C385TSE is an excellent choice for those looking for a fast, reliable, and thermally protected device for protecting their equipment from damaging voltage transients. By combining the features of a MOV and a bilateral varistor, the device can provide superior protection against surges and spikes, while also providing thermal protection to prevent damage caused by excessive temperatures.
