MOV-7D431K Metal Oxide Varistor Thakor (VCRR)

About MOV-7D431K Metal Oxide Varistor Thakor (VCRR)

Product/ServiceDescription for MOV-7D431K Metal Oxide Varistor (Thakor VCRR):

The MOV-7D431K is a metal oxide varistor (MOV)designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment from transient voltagesurges, including those caused by lightning strikes, power line disturbances,and electrostatic discharge. It is commonly used in applications whereovervoltage protection is essential, such as power supplies, householdappliances, industrial equipment, and automotive electronics.

Uses:

1. Overvoltage Protection: Absorbs and dissipates excess voltage to protect sensitive circuits.
2. Surge Suppression: Prevents damage from power surges and spikes.
3. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Shields circuits from static electricity.
4. Circuit Isolation: Ensures voltage levels remain stable during transient events.

Details:

• Voltage Rating: Designed to handle a maximum continuous operating voltage of approximately 275V AC.
• Clamping Voltage: Limits voltage to approximately 430V when a transient occurs.
• Energy Absorption: Capable of dissipating transient energy up to its rated capacity without damage.
• Size: Compact 7mm disk diameter, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.
• Response Time: Reacts within nanoseconds to suppress voltage spikes.
• Temperature Range: Operates reliably within a wide temperature range.

Benefits:

1. Cost-Effective Protection: Provides inexpensive yet robust protection for electronic equipment.
2. Compact Design: Small form factor suitable for modern compact devices.
3. Durability: High reliability and long operating life.
4. Ease of Installation: Simple to integrate into existing circuits without requiring complex configurations.
5. Improved Device Longevity: Protects equipment from electrical stress and extends its service life.
