ABSTRACT:
A nonlinear resistive surface mount device for protecting against electrical overvoltage transients which includes a pair of conductive sheets and a quantum mechanical tunneling material disposed between the pair of conductive sheets. This configuration serves to connect the conductive sheets by quantum mechanical tunneling media thereby providing predetermined resistance when the voltage between the conductive sheets exceeds a predetermined voltage.
