Bourns innovative IsoMOV protector provides function and protection advantages with more robust design

     Bourns, a leading manufacturer of global well-known electronic components, announced the launch of the most significant MOV component breakthrough product in decades - IsoMOV protector. The Bourns IsoMOV hybrid protection component with innovative design directly integrates the GDT function on the MOV, greatly improving the surge protection level in terms of performance, service life and enhanced equipment reliability. The fully integrated and compact Bourns hybrid design provides the performance specifications that are usually available in traditional MOV products with large sizes. Bourns IsoMOV protectors make it easier for designers to customize surge protection performance according to strict space requirements, and allow them to upgrade their MOV overvoltage protection to include the proven benefits of GDT isolation without having to redesign PCBs. With the industry standard pin layout, Bourns IsoMOV protector provides the overall dimensions of direct pin to pin replacement, providing substantial performance and reliability upgrades for standard MOVs of the same size.

     Bourns IsoMOV protector is a hybrid design that fully integrates GDT and MOV. Combining the two devices into a single package, GDT can prevent leakage current that may lead to premature failure from passing through the MOV, making the MOV itself more robust without adding additional components to the circuit design. The rated temperature is 125 ° C, which is much higher than the industry standard of 85 ° C. The Bourns IsoMOV protector has a wider temperature range and better low leakage characteristics, which are particularly suitable for industrial, power line communication, high-speed information technology (ICT) equipment, as well as a wide range of specific harsh environments, or remote, outdoor applications. Maintenance of these applications may be difficult in practice and costly

    Toma, Product Line Manager of Bourns Overvoltage Protection Solutions ž Bojko said, "In our interconnected world, devices and equipment need to maintain the longest normal operation time. Therefore, many designers specify MOVs with higher voltage and surge current ratings to ensure that they will never bear the pressure at their breaking point. Other designers connect GDT and MOVs in series to eliminate leakage and extend the service life of MOVs. Bourns  The efficient design of IsoMOV protectors allows designers to discard larger, often lower performance, and often more expensive design alternatives. "

     Lee Bourns, Marketing Director of Bourns Circuit Protection Products, added: "The innovative Bourns IsoMOV protector series is indeed one of the most revolutionary technological breakthroughs in the field of overvoltage protection in the past decades. For a long time, design engineers have been forced to choose between components with poor performance and space saving, as well as larger and higher specification equipment to meet their protection needs. With Bourns IsoMOV protectors, designers can now choose the appropriate level of surge protection for their applications Without any compromise in performance, size, cost or redesign. "
