ABSTRACT:
An over-voltage surge protection device includes a circuit board having a signal carrying conductive member with a plurality of nodes positioned therealong, and a conductive member running to ground positioned therealong. The nodes on the signal carrying member and the ground conductive member each extend along a common path with corresponding ones of the signal carrying nodes positioned in adjacent, but spaced relation to the ground member, wherein the conductive member running to ground is formed along the interior of the main body enclosing the circuit board and the signal carrying conductive member. The peripheral edges of the nodes accumulate and discharge transient high voltage surges. The nodes can be shaped in the form of triangles due to this particular geometry's favorable ability to accumulate and discharge voltage, but may also be formed in a variety of other geometries.
