Metal Oxide Through-Hole Varistor (MOV-14D471K)

Metal Oxide Through-Hole Varistor (MOV-14D471K)

The MOV-14D471K is a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) designed for overvoltage protection in electrical circuits. A varistor is a voltage-dependent resistor that provides a non-linear resistance response to voltage changes. In the case of the MOV-14D471K, it is specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic components from high voltage spikes or surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes, power line crossovers, or other transient events. The "471" in the part number represents the voltage rating in volts (47V), while the "K" indicates the tolerance of the varistor, which is typically ±10%. The MOV-14D471K is typically rated for a clamping voltage that limits the voltage across the protected circuit during transient events, ensuring that the voltage does not exceed a level that could damage the components. MOVs like the MOV-14D471K are typically used in applications such as power supplies, telecommunication equipment, consumer electronics, and industrial machinery, where transient voltage spikes are a concern. When a voltage surge occurs, the MOV quickly transitions from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state, diverting excess current away from sensitive components and protecting the circuit. Once the surge is over, the MOV returns to its high-resistance state.
