ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) having built-in rapid response solid state circuit protection devices (42) for the absorption of electromagnetic pulses and the like associated with the connector contacts (16) by grounding to the connector shell (22), the circuit protection devices (42) mounted between a ground plate (44) and an insert disc (52) which carries an electrical connection to the respective contact (16). In some embodiments leads (48, 50) of the device (42) are connected into the connector (10), while in the other embodiments the diodes (156) are directly mounted to the ground plate (150) and disc (152). All connections are soldered to minimize the inductance created by the connections to minimize the response time and accurately control the voltage level triggering the devices. (FIG. 1)
