Component

MOVvaristor20D140 VAC180 VDCsurge protectionthrough-hole

VDR-20D221K is a 20 mm radial MOV for suppressing transient overvoltage on circuits up to 140 VAC or 180 VDC. It has a 198–242 V varistor voltage and clamps to 360 V maximum at a 100 A 8/20 µs surge.

Best for

  • General-purpose AC or DC transient suppression within 140 VAC or 180 VDC continuous limits
  • Through-hole surge protection where a 20 mm radial disc MOV is acceptable

Avoid if

  • The circuit requires lower clamping voltage than 360 V at 100 A
  • Expected surge current or energy exceeds the stated ratings
  • The installation cannot provide suitable overload or thermal protection

Check before use

  • Verify actual surge waveform and pulse repetition against the datasheet limits
  • Check voltage derating above +125 °C
  • Assess fuse or disconnect protection for MOV end-of-life failure
