VE17M00251KEB

VE17M00251KEB is a TVS - Varistors, MOV used in automotive applications. It is a 3-terminal device integrated onto a PCB, which provides protection for the electronic system from ESD, EMP, over-voltage, and surges.

The device is designed to offer a high level of protection to sensitive electronic components, and is suitable for automotive, commercial and industrial applications where increased transient voltage protection and reliability are required. The device is available in a range of sizes and configurations to satisfy the many different types and sizes of automotive applications where protection is required.

The VE17M00251KEB is a varistor-based device that provides protection by clamping any transient voltages to a specified level above the rated operating voltage. The device is designed to dissipate any excessive voltage above its approved rating. It is designed for industrial applications, such as automotive, lighting, and controls, as it has been tested for years both in the lab and in actual installations to provide superior performance in the most demanding environments.

The VE17M00251KEB device is governed by the principle of a metal oxide varistor (MOV). MOVs are solid-state non-linear semiconductor devices that operate as voltage clamping devices to protect from over-voltages. They are constructed of multiple stacked layers of metal oxide varistors, which are semiconductor components made from a mixture of ceramic tantalum, zinc and oxygen. They are designed such that when the voltage across the device exceeds its rated value, the varistor material breaks down and a large amount of current will flow, thus limiting the voltage to the rated value of the MOV.

The MOVs in the device are designed to provide reliable and full-featured protection from over-voltage, surges, and ESD, up to the rated specifications of the MOV. The device also features a surge endurance feature which helps to minimize maintain voltage breakdowns. The surge endurance feature helps to provide an extra level of protection which prevents surges from damaging the rated components in the circuit.

In conclusion, the VE17M00251KEB is a 3-terminal device designed to protect sensitive electronics from ESD, EMP, over-voltage, and surges. It is a MOV based device which operates by clamping transient voltages to a specific rating, and is ideal for automotive, commercial, and industrial applications where superior transient voltage protection is required. The surge endurance feature helps to protect the rated components in the circuit from surges.
