ABSTRACT:
An electrically conductive element for protecting electrical components positioned within a cable connector or cable terminator from high voltage surges includes a ring that is positioned in circumferentially surrounding relation to the input pin of the connector or terminator that carries the signal being transmitted by the coaxial cable. The ring includes at least one prong that extends radially inward therefrom which terminates in close but non-contacting relation to the input pin. When a high voltage surge of electricity is carried by the coaxial cable transmission line, a spark is formed in the gap between the prong and the cable connector or terminator. As a consequence, the high voltage surge is transferred to the surge protection element which in turn conducts the electricity to the grounded body of the connector or terminator.
