ABSTRACT:
A solid state electromagnetic pulse suppressor includes first and second external input terminals and first and second external output terminals. The pulse suppressor also includes first and second conductors. The first conductor is electrically connected between the first input terminal and the first output terminal. The second conductor is electrically connected between the second input terminal and the second output terminal. A pulse suppressor element having first and second electrodes has its first electrode attached to an intermediate portion of the first conductor and has its second electrode attached to an intermediate portion of the second conductor. The pulse suppressor element and the portions of the first and second conductors attached thereto are contained in a package. In use, the four terminal pulse suppressor connected in series connection with first and second electrical lines, thereby presenting negligeable inductance between the electrical lines and the pulse suppressor chip and limiting high speed transient voltages across the first and second input terminals.
