Hi,
It is a transient voltage suppressor:

Not a MOV or Zener since it is made much differently. But it works much
like a Zener.
Cheers,
Terry

The Electronic Goldmine has a "diode" R2MLF-A1 that is described as an
"overvoltage protection diode" that is "designed to clamp at 135 -150V."
Reverse current is 1A. My question: Is this, or is it the same as, an MOV?
I have a schematic for driving an ignition coil with a Mosfet that shows a
130V MOV across the DS of the Mosfet. Would this suffice?
