Metal oxide varistors (MOVs), also known as voltage-dependent resistors, are primarily used for protecting electronic circuits from damage caused by overvoltage surges and transients. They act as a "clamp" by reducing their resistance and allowing high current to flow when a voltage spike exceeds a certain threshold. This helps to dissipate excess energy and prevent damage to sensitive components.

MOV Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) protect against overvoltage transients such as lightning, power contact, and power induction. These 7mm radial leaded varistors feature high current handling, high energy absorption capability, and fast response times to protect against transient faults up to rated limits. Varistors are ideal for power supplies, power systems, line voltage, Telecom systems, white goods, and appliances.
