The VGAS121065P131DP is a MOV (metal-oxide varistor) with a maximum continuous operating voltage of 630 V and a capacitance of 5.30 pF. It has a maximum permissible voltage of 1,210 V, a switching time of less than 12 ms, and a maximum leakage current of 1µA. The MOV has a pressure contact/clip installation and a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The VGAS121065P131DP is made of lead-free tin/zinc-plated epoxy plastic. Its robust construction ensures that this device can endure tough environmental conditions and remain functional.

A varistor works by diverting undesirable electric current away from vulnerable electronic devices and components. The varistor has two parts: a ceramic or mica plate coated with electrodes on one side and a zinc oxide or mica plate on the other. When the voltage applied across the varistor exceeds a certain level, the voltage-sensing oxide layer emits an extra electron, which causes the resistor to break down. This creates a conductive path between the electrodes, reducing the resistance in the device and allowing the undesirable current to be diverted away from the device.

The VGAS121065P131DP is an ideal protection component for applications such as power supplies, consumer electronics, electrical motors, sensors, LED lamps, and automotive electronics. It can also be used in the testing and manufacturing of components as well as in noise reduction applications. The VGAS121065P131DP provides robust protection against short circuits and ensures that all vulnerable components remain safe.

The VGAS121065P131DP is a versatile protection device that can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is designed to offer superior protection from corrosion and short circuit currents and is well-suited for both consumer and industrial applications. The VGAS121065P131DP is an ideal choice for protecting vulnerable electronic components and devices from corrosion and short-circuits.
