ABSTRACT:
A protection device for a housing containing sensitive electronic equipment to protect the equipment against radio frequency interference that may accompany a spark generated when a person touches the housing and discharges electrostatic charge. The device includes a pair of conducting plates separated by an insulator and electrically connected at only one end to ground potential mounted on the package at such a location that the person wishing access to the electronic equipment would normally first touch the package. Any RF energy generated by the spark in touching the outer plate will be absorbed by the inner plate so that the RF energy cannot damage the sensitive electronic equipment.
