ABSTRACT:
A communication circuit protector is provided for use with connector blocks in telecommunication equipment. The circuit protector includes a uniquely-designed two-piece interfitting housing for accommodating a variety of protector circuits to provide different kinds of over-voltage and/or overcurrent protection while using the same housing. The housing is adapted to plug-in or to be inserted into the connector clips of a Krone-style terminal block. The side of the housing is provided with means for retaining a side ground contact which is connectible to one of the grounding tab members of the grounding bar of the connector block. In a preferred embodiment, the protector circuit includes a diode bridge rectifier, a pair of voltage suppressors, and a pair of sneak current fuses.
