ABSTRACT:
A surge protector, particularly for protecting components in a telecommunications system, has a thin ceramic substrate on a surface of which is formed a surge protection resistor having a serpentine path extending over the substrate, the width of the path and the distance between adjacent path lengths being relatively narrow. Resistance trimming means are provided, positioned such that there is a substantially isothermal heat distribution over the substrate under surge conditions.
