  • Stripline transient protection device
    Patent number: 6243247
    Abstract: Apparatus for protecting electronic components and equipment and method of manufacturing the apparatus. A transient protection device capable of mounting onto a circuit board. The transient protection device includes first and second conductive paths. The first conductive path lies in a first plane and the second conductive path lies in a second plane spaced apart from the first plane. Furthermore, a dielectric material lies in a third plane disposed between the first and the second plane. A ground plane is coupled with said first conductive path to discharge an electrical surge.

  • Surge suppressor device
    Patent number: 6236551
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for protecting hardware devices using a spiral inductor. The surge suppressor protects hardware devices from electric surges by isolating the radio frequency from an inner conductor. The surge suppressor includes a housing, an inner conductor, a surge blocking device, and a spiral inductor. The surge blocking device is inserted in series with the hardware devices for blocking the flow of electrical energy therethrough. The spiral inductor is coupled to the surge blocking device and is shunted to ground for discharging the electrical surge.
