TVS - Varistors, MOVs from Panasonic : 143 - Page 8

TVS Varistors, also known as Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), are essential components for transient voltage suppression. These devices protect electrical and electronic equipment by clamping voltage spikes and diverting excess energy away from sensitive components.

MOVs are widely used in applications such as power supplies, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics. They offer high energy absorption capacity and fast response times, ensuring reliable protection against both high and low-energy transient events.

Top manufacturers like Littelfuse, EPCOS, and AVX Corporation offer a broad range of MOVs tailored to various voltage levels and energy ratings. Incorporating MOVs into your electronic design helps mitigate the risk of transient-induced failures and extends the lifespan of your equipment.
