Abstract: A spark transfer seizure or transient suppression component is designed into the female connector or F-connector employed to connect a coaxial cable to electrical components within a cable splitter or other similar circuit for various types of cable distribution systems. The F-connector itself is of a generally standard configuration, with the exception of a conductive metal projection extending outwardly at approximately 90° to its longitudinal axis. This projection extends through an aperture in the F-connector housing to the outer surface, or slightly beyond the outer surface, of the housing. The amount by which the projection extends beyond the outer surface of the housing is selected to be less than the air space between the outer surface of the housing and the metal wall of the receptacle for the F-connector housing.
