ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device for protecting an electrical circuit. The device includes a resistive element having a first and a second surface. A first electrode is in electrical contact with the first surface of the resistive element and a second electrode is in electrical contact with the second surface of the resistive element. A first end termination electrically connects the circuit and the first electrode. A second end termination electrically connects the second electrode and the circuit. An electrically insulating layer is interposed between the first and second end terminations and is in contact with the first and second electrodes. The end terminations allow for an electrical connection to be made to both electrodes from the same side of the electrical device.
