Metal Oxide Through-Hole Varistor (MOV-20D201K)

Metal Oxide Through-Hole Varistor (MOV-20D201K)

The MOV-20D201K Metal Oxide Varistor is a protective component designed to safeguard electronic circuits from high-voltage transients and surges. The "20D" indicates a 20mm disk diameter, which provides a significant energy-handling capacity, suitable for applications requiring robust surge protection. The "201" denotes a nominal voltage rating of 200V, meaning the varistor begins to conduct current when the applied voltage exceeds this threshold. The "K" suffix represents a tolerance of ±10%, ensuring reliable operation within its specified voltage range. Constructed using zinc oxide along with other metal oxides, this varistor exhibits non-linear voltage-dependent resistance. Under normal operating conditions, it maintains high resistance and acts as an insulator. When subjected to transient voltages above its clamping threshold, the MOV-20D201K rapidly becomes conductive, diverting excess energy and protecting downstream components from potential damage due to overvoltage.
