20mm 180 V 6.5 kA 1-Circuit Through Hole Varistor (MOV-20D181K)

20mm 180 V 6.5 kA 1-Circuit Through Hole Varistor (MOV-20D181K)

The MOV-20D181K is a robust and reliable 20mm varistor designed for overvoltage protection in various electronic and electrical circuits. With a clamping voltage of 180V and a surge current capacity of 6.5 kA, this varistor is engineered to safeguard sensitive components from high-voltage transients and surges. Its ability to handle substantial surge currents makes it particularly suitable for applications prone to power surges, such as industrial equipment, consumer electronics, and power supply systems. Encased in a through-hole package, the MOV-20D181K varistor is designed for secure and easy integration into printed circuit boards (PCBs). The through-hole mounting ensures a robust mechanical connection, which is essential for applications where durability and reliability are critical. This varistor's 20mm size strikes a balance between compactness and the ability to handle high-energy transients. The MOV-20D181K varistor operates by clamping voltage spikes to a safe level, protecting downstream components from damage. It features a non-linear, voltage-dependent resistance that decreases sharply when the voltage exceeds a certain threshold, thus diverting excess energy away from sensitive circuit elements. This self-protective behavior makes it a vital component in surge protection circuits.
