ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided for the suppression of electromagnetic impulses traveling a radio frequency cable. Paired first and second electrical connectors are provided for being operatively interposed along the signal cable. A spacer or mounting device is provided for electrically coupling the primary conductors and secondary conductors of one connector to their counterparts in the other paired connector. A gas discharge tube having a known breakdown voltage and a known capacitance is electrically and mechanically coupled between the first and second conductors of the mounting device. The inductance of the elements comprising the mounting device are determined such that this inductance interacts with the capacitance of the gas discharge tube and other stray capacitance of the combination thereof in order to produce a characteristic impedance which is generally equal to the characteristic impedance of the radio frequency signal cable, whereby the supressor will dissipate electrical surges while representing a low standing wave ratio to radio frequency energy being transmitted along the radio frequency signal cable.
