ZEN132V130A24YC Circuit Protection

ZEN132V130A24YC application field and working principle

ZEN132V130A24YC is a metal oxide varistor (MOV) that belongs to the family of transient voltage suppression (TVS) and mixed technology. It has a wide range of applications and can provide AC and DC overvoltage protection in many applications and markets. Its working principle is simple and straightforward.

Application Field

The ZEN132V130A24YC is widely applied in the areas which requires over-voltage protection, such as power supplies, telecommunications, industrial equipment, automotive, medical equipment and instrumentation. It can provide protection for AC or DC load from over-voltage stresses such as voltage transients. The ZEN132V130A24YC also offers EMC protection in ac and dc circuits.

Working Principle

The ZEN132V130A24YC is composed of a sintered material that contains zinc oxide particles in an organic binders. During normal operation, it does not conduct any current. When an over-voltage occurs, the current through the varistor will be limited to a very lowvalue. This is because the breakdown voltage is much higher than the normal operating voltage, and in response, the varistor starts to conduct current.

Once the voltage drops below the breakdown threshold, the current disappears and the varistor becomes non-conductive. This makes the ZEN132V130A24YC especially suitable for use in over-voltage protection applications because of its quick response and low conduction time.

The ZEN132V130A24YC is also very reliable as it can handle surge voltages up to 10kV and has a long life expectancy of up to 20 years. This makes it ideal for use in applications that require long-term protection. It is also RoHS compliant, making it environmentally friendly and suitable for use in almost any environment.

Conclusion

The ZEN132V130A24YC is a reliable and durable TVS-Mixed Technology device that is suitable for many applications such as power supplies, telecommunications, industrial equipment, automotive, medical equipment and instrumentation. Its fast response and low conduction time makes it ideal for use in over-voltage protection applications. It is also RoHS compliant, making it environmentally friendly and suitable for use in almost any environment.
