TVS - Varistors, MOVs, are essential components in electrical and electronic devices. They help provide surge protection when a system is subject to voltage transients caused by lightning strikes, induction from nearby power lines, electrostatic discharge (ESD), or other events. The VGAS120616K390DP is one of them and is specifically designed for input protection and general-purpose overvoltage protection needs.

The VGAS120616K390DP is a surface-mount, low-profile varistor at 1206 case size. It uses ceramic material and offers excellent ESD, surge and overvoltage protection. Its high capacitance makes it ideal for any application that requires good thermal and electrical performance. Its mounting makes it easy to attach to a board, and it takes up less space than larger components. It also has excellent surge and resistance characteristics, making it highly reliable in power circuits.

The VGAS120616K390DP features a maximum operating voltage of 390Vdc/300 Vac and ESD protection for the Human Body Model with a ±12KV rating. It also has a high rated energy dissipation of 16J (8/20µs) which can be used as an alternative to the traditional metal-oxide varistor (MOV). This makes it an ideal fit for a variety of applications. It is also RoHS compliant and comes with UL recognised certification for added safety.

The VGAS120616K390DP combines two key features – excellent surge protection and high capacity. This makes it the perfect choice for surge suppressing and overvoltage protection applications. One common application is in automobiles, where it is used to protect delicate electrical systems from the sudden voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes or unexpected stops. It is also used to protect sensitive digital systems from voltage transients in industrial, medical, aerospace, and automotive applications.

In terms of its working principle, the VGAS120616K390DP is designed to act as a voltage-dependent resistor. This means that it has a range of voltages at which it starts to “conduct” and redirects the energy to the ground, thereby protecting other components from the energy spike. It is important to note that the energy is dissipated in the form of heat, so the VGAS120616K390DP needs to be mounted on an appropriate heat sink or in an area with good ventilation. This ensures that the component does not overheat and retain its performance.

In conclusion, the VGAS120616K390DP is an ideal choice for a variety of surge protection and overvoltage protection needs. Its high capacitance and excellent surge protection capabilities make it a reliable shield against sudden voltage transients. It is easy to install and offers unparalleled safety for delicate electronics.
