VDRS10P060BKE

TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes, MOVs (metal oxide varistors) and varistors are some of the most common components used for short circuit protection in electrical systems. Their purpose is to provide protection from damaging high-voltage transients that can damage or destroy sensitive electronics or other components.

The VDRS10P060BKE (also known as Varistor DRS10P060BKE) is a type of Surface Mounted Varistor (SMV) that can be used for protection against voltage transients in a variety of different applications. It is designed for both AC and DC applications, and is suitable for a wide range of voltage ranges, from 10 VDC to 40 VDC.

VDRS10P060BKE Application Field and Working Principle

The VDRS10P060BKE is specially designed for use in applications that require overvoltage protection. Examples include power supplies, lighting, HVAC, medical and commercial electronics. It can be used in conjunction with an inductor to provide EMI filtering and ESD protection. Its low clamping voltagemakes it suitable for protecting sensitive electronic components from potentially destructive overvoltage transients.

This type of varistor consists of a ceramic element and electrodes, with two metal cap electrodes or “pads” attached. The ceramic element resistors change their resistance when there is a significant change in the applied voltage, which causes the structure of the component to “unzip”. This unzipping sends a cascade of tiny pulses that triggers a rapid response and forms a conductive path. In this way, the excess voltage is diverted away from any sensitive components that may be present in the circuit, providing protection from short circuits or other overvoltage events.

The VDRS10P060BKE is also designed for pulse shaping and precision voltage regulation, where it can dampen high-frequency signals and stabilize the control voltage to prevent overvoltage conditions. Its low capacitance also ensures that it does not interfere with high-speed data transmission.

In summary, the VDRS10P060BKE is an ideal choice for applications that require overvoltage protection and precise voltage regulation, such as power supplies, lighting, HVAC, medical and commercial electronics. Its combination of size, low capacitance and low clamping voltage makes it an efficient and reliable solution for these and other applications.
