ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having means for protecting its terminals from transient voltages includes a selectively plated cavity endwall in a substrate being laterally offset from its respective terminal receiving passage, a silicon diode being mounted in the cavity and connected to a conductive spring, and ground paths completing a conductive circuit between the terminal, the endwall and the connector shell, the spring completing an electrical ground path through the diode for overvoltages to be diverted from the terminal to the shell ground.
