Higher voltages trigger the avalanche effect and cause the diode junctions to break down. As a rule, metal oxide varistors exhibit highly non-linear current-voltage characteristics. They have high ...

Resistors are one of the fundamental components used in electronic circuits. They do one thing: resist the flow of electrical current. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and there is more ...

Shunt mode and series mode are the two types of surge protection. The most common method is the use of a metal oxide varistor (MOV), which acts like a pressure relief valve to divert the surge to ...

Transtector, an Infinite Electronics brand and a leading provider of end-to-end power and signal integrity solutions, has just introduced a new line of AC surge protectors for LED lighting and whole ...

Bolt-on (Chassis) Chassis-mounted devices bolt onto or within a structure’s supporting frame, typically in a metal-to-metal configuration for better heat dissipation. Some chassis types are designed ...
