ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications protection unit includes a voltage unit having an electrically insulating base configured to house a diode module assembly and a voltage limiting cell therein. The voltage limiting cell and diode module assembly are retained within the housing by a bus clip. The housing includes structure for preventing damage to the voltage limiting cell and diode module assembly during placement of the bus clip thereon. The diode module assembly is a one-piece article including a bus bar and several diodes and terminals which can be used by itself or in a voltage unit to provide desired electrical effects and facilitate assembly of an electrical system such as a telecommunications protection unit. The terminals of the diode module are highly flexible to respond to excessive voltage and sneak current events encountered by telecommunications protection equipment, and the bus clip is constructed to provide a plurality of independently yieldable segments to accommodate diode stacks of variable heights and reduce manufacturing costs.
