VDRS14T350TME

TVS - Varistors, MOVs (transient voltage suppressors) are important components used to protect electrical equipment from damage caused by excess electrical voltage. The VDRS14T350TME is a type of TVS - Varistor, MOVs manufactured by Bourns. It is designed to protect electrical circuits from damaging transient voltages as well as other overvoltage hazards that can occur on AC and DC power lines. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of VDRS14T350TME and how it can be used to protect electrical equipment.

Application Field

The Bourns VDRS14T350TME is designed to provide effective protection against voltage transients posed by AC and DC powerline disturbances. The wide range of application fields encompasses a variety of industries, including telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive, power control systems, and many others. It is suitable for use with circuit designs that require EMC, thermal, and environmental protection. The VDRS14T350TME is capable of protecting circuits from transients in a wide variety of conditions, such as overvoltage, reverse voltage, lightning, and more.

Working Principle

In order to protect circuits from voltage transients, the Bourns VDRS14T350TME employs both varistor and MOV (metal oxide varistor) technology. The varistor is composed of an array of metal oxide beads, which act as voltage breakers. The MOV works like a conventional resistor but with higher surge current handling capabilities. When a transient voltage hits a circuit, the combination of these two elements will rapidly reduce it to a safe level. The element then adjusts itself to a low-leakage state, while at the same time providing an additional level of protection against long-term overvoltage

Another key feature of the VDRS14T350TME is its built-in EMI/EMC filter. This provides additional protection against transient and EMI/RFI interference. The VDRS14T350TME can also help prevent current spikes from damaging a circuit. This is done by suppressing the current and dissipating it into heat, thus avoiding circuit overloads.

Conclusion

The Bourns VDRS14T350TME is an important component used to protect electronic circuits from damage caused by voltage transients and other overvoltage hazards. It is designed to work in a variety of application fields and is capable of withstanding a wide range of conditions. The VDRS14T350TME utilizes both varistor and MOV technology to quickly reduce any transients present in the circuit. Furthermore, it is also equipped with an EMI/EMC filter to provide additional protection against EMI/RFI interference. With its high surge current handling capabilities, the VDRS14T350TME is a reliable and effective solution to protecting sensitive circuits.
