VE13M01150K

TVS - Varistors, MOVs

VE13M01150K is a voltage-dependent, nonlinear device known as a surge absorption device or Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode. This type of device is present in various electronic circuits, and is especially useful for protecting contacts and circuits from high current transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) or lightning strikes. Other types of voltage protection devices such as Varistor and Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) also play a role in protecting against surges.

Temperature-Dependent Coefficient Of Resistance

A common feature of all surge protection devices, including VE13M01150K, is the temperature-dependent coefficient of resistance. At high temperatures, the coefficient of resistance increases, while at low temperatures, it decreases. As a result, surge protection devices can better protect contacts and circuits from damage caused by light exposures and sparks at reduced temperatures and provide increased resistance against voltage transients in higher temperature environments.

Energy-Dissipating Capability

VE13M01150K has an energy-dissipation capability that, when combined with its temperature-dependent resistance, makes it an effective surge protection device. Specifically, The VE13M01150K’s energy dissipation coefficient helps dissipate any high-voltage transients so that it does not damage sensitive components or circuitry. At the same time, its resistance dissipates any unwanted electrical noise and prevents any false triggering of false alarms.

Applications and Working Principle

VE13M01150K is commonly used in applications requiring surge protection, including medical, communications, robotics, and transportation industries. In these fields, VE13M01150K provides reliable protection that can withstand various environmental conditions of temperature, humidity, and dust. Additionally, VE13M01150K can also be used in automotive applications where protecting DC-sensitive circuitry from voltage spikes is essential.

VE13M01150K works on the principle of temperature-dependent coefficient of resistance. This coefficient of resistance increases at higher temperatures, enabling the device to absorb voltage transients and dissipate energy as heat to prevent damage to contacts and circuits. Additionally, its energy-dissipation coefficient helps dissipate any high-voltage transients so that it does not damage sensitive components or circuitry.
