  • Publication number: 20120033339
    Abstract: The invention relates to a surge protection magazine (1) for a device in telecommunications and data technology, comprising a housing (2), a printed circuit board (3), a plurality of surge arrestors (6) and at least one ground contact (4). The surge arrestors (6) are arranged on the printed circuit board and connected via conductor tracks to contact pads (10, 11) disposed on the printed circuit board (3). On the underside (20), the housing (2) has at least one opening for the at least one ground contact (4), wherein the part of the ground contact (4) that is pushed through the opening is designed as a single tuning fork contact (41, 42), and wherein the ground contact (4) has a second single tuning fork contact (42) which makes contact with the printed circuit board (3). The planes (E1, E2) of the two single tuning fork contacts (41, 42) are rotated 90° with respect to each other, and the ground contact (4) is formed in one piece.

  • Patent number: 5574614
    Abstract: An over-voltage protection plug for telecommunication installations, including a housing with a printed-circuit board, a voltagesurge suppressor, a slider, a spring, an earth plate, a signalling element. Reliable protection against voltage surges is provided, wherein the solder position is loaded to a minimum extent only. The plug is composed of few parts only and further permits automated manufacture at low cost, and which clearly shows the tripped condition at the outside. The slider is pre-loaded over a support face and over an edge at the inner housing wall in the housing by the spring. A shaped part of solder material is loaded to a minimum extent only by the spring force (pressure force) of the slider.
