The VSR0402KR140161N is a varistor that is part of the larger family of voltage surge protection components, known as TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors). Varistors (which are a type of MOV – Metal Oxide Varistor) are voltage-dependent resistors, which provide protection against electrical overstress and overvoltage. There are a variety of TVS devices, including transient voltage suppressors, varistors, and MOVs – all of which are designed to protect equipment and circuitry from overvoltage damage.

Varistors are used in electronic circuits as a form of voltage protection. By absorbing excess transients, they act to protect sensitive circuits from damage. As the name implies, the VSR0402KR140161N is an MOV (metal oxide varistor) and is used for similar protection.

The VSR0402KR140161N is primarily used in high and low voltage applications such as in automobiles, industry, healthcare, and consumer electronics. In automobile applications it is used for the protection of the vehicle\'s electrical systems from external environmental influences such as surging, short circuits, and power jumps. In industrial applications, varistors are used to protect circuits from electrical overstress. In the healthcare sector, they are used to protect medical equipment from voltage jumps. Finally, in consumer electronics, they are used to protect sensitive circuitry from surges and spikes.

The working principle of the VSR0402KR140161N is based upon a diode bridge formed by four diodes. The diodes are connected to form two voltage paths, the first path going from the supply voltage to the load, and the second path going from the load to the ground. When the applied voltage to the device exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, the diode begins to conduct. As the voltage increases beyond the critical point, the current through the device increases rapidly. This sudden increase in current causes a voltage drop across the device, which then limits the voltages from the line to the load.

The VSR0402KR140161N is a great choice for a variety of applications requiring overvoltage protection. Its small size and wide operating temperature range make it an ideal component for many different types of applications. By absorbing sudden voltage transients, it makes electronic devices and circuits secure and reliable. With its wide variety of applications, this MOV is sure to be an ideal choice for many different types of overvoltage protection needs.
