The VDRS14T350TME belongs to the category of electronic components, specifically a voltage dependent resistor (VDR) or varistor.
It is used to protect electrical and electronic circuits from overvoltage conditions by clamping the transient voltage and diverting excessive current away from sensitive components.
The VDRS14T350TME typically has two leads for connection to the circuit. The pin configuration may vary slightly based on the manufacturer, but generally follows a standard design.
The VDRS14T350TME operates based on the principle of nonlinear resistance, where its resistance decreases as the voltage across it increases. When an overvoltage condition occurs, the VDR conducts current, diverting the excess energy and limiting the voltage across the protected circuit.
The VDRS14T350TME is commonly used in various electronic and electrical applications, including: - Power supplies - Telecommunications equipment - Industrial control systems - Consumer electronics
This list is not exhaustive and there are numerous alternative models available from different manufacturers with varying specifications.
