TVS - Varistors, MOVs are commonly used devices to protect electrical/electronic devices, interconnected systems, and components from voltage transients.VGAS121016J400DP is a transient voltage suppression device produced by the company Vishay which is specifically designed for sensitive electronic equipment protection.

Application Field

VGAS121016J400DP is a low-cost, transient voltage surge suppressor which is mainly used in transient voltage suppression applications in order to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage threats like lightning and transients caused by electric disturbances and switching operations. It can be used in both residential and commercial applications. This part is widely used in lighting control systems, power supplies, servers, routers, surveillance cameras, automotive systems, data systems, and many other consumer electronic applications.

Working Principle

VGAS121016J400DP is a surface mount, general-purpose metal oxide varistor with symmetrical breakdown characteristics. This device works by clamping the over-voltage transient to a safe operating level. It is designed to protect delicate electronic equipment, particularly in environments with electrical noise and rapid transients. The VGAS121016J400DP has a peak pulse current of 400A and a peak pulse power of 1580W. It has a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The VGAS121016J400DP has a maximum reverse voltage of 108V and a maximum continuous operating voltage of 50V. It offers high voltage suppression, fast reaction time and excellent protection for your applications.

The VGAS121016J400DP absorbs over-voltage to prevent the voltage from endangering the connected equipment. It works by clamping the voltage to a safe level through a process called transient voltage suppression. It works by the movement of charge carriers, electrons or holes, to the area with the highest electrical field strength when voltage is applied. This causes current to flow through the varistor, allowing the voltage at the input of the pass to be lowered to a safe level. This principle of operation enables the VGAS121016J400DP to protect your components and equipment from over-voltage transients.

VGAS121016J400DP can provide reliable protection of sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients and power disturbances. Its symmetrical breakdown characteristics and low clamping voltage allow it to perform the reverse of transient voltage suppression, that is, to prevent excessive reverse voltage transients. The wide operating temperature range ensures reliable operation in a wide range of environments. The high peak pulse current and peak pulse power of the VGAS121016J400DP make it ideal for use in transient voltage suppression applications.

Overall, VGAS121016J400DP is an excellent transient voltage suppression device which is suitable for use in a variety of applications ranging from residential to commercial applications. Its reliable operation and symmetrical breakdown characteristics combined with its low clamping voltage makes it ideal for use in transient voltage suppression applications. It is the perfect choice for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients and power disturbances.
