Abstract: A surge protective device (SPD) assembly includes a base and an SPD module configured to be mounted on the base. The SPD module includes an SPD module PCB, an SPD module circuit, and a thermal disconnector mechanism. The SPD module circuit is at least partly embodied in the SPD module PCB and includes an overvoltage protection component mounted on the SPD module PCB. The thermal disconnector mechanism is mounted on the SPD module PCB in a ready configuration. The thermal disconnector mechanism is operative to transition from the ready configuration to an actuated configuration responsive to sufficient overheating of the overvoltage protection component. When the thermal disconnector mechanism is positioned in the ready configuration, the SPD circuit forms a first current path through the overvoltage protection component.

Abstract: A surge protective device (SPD) circuit system for providing overvoltage protection to an electrical power circuit includes a PCB assembly, an SPD module, and an SPD monitoring system. The PCB assembly selectively mountable on the PCB includes a PCB and a remote signal (RS) PCB contact on the PCB. The SPD module includes an overvoltage clamping element and an RS spring contact including an RS contact portion. When the SPD module is mounted on the PCB and the electrical power circuit is connected to the PCB: the PCB electrically connects the SPD module to the circuit and the overvoltage clamping element provides overvoltage protection to the circuit; the RS contact portion engages the RS PCB contact; the RS spring contact is elastically deflected and persistently loads the RS contact portion against the RS PCB contact; and the RS spring contact is electrically connected to the SPD monitoring system via the RS PCB contact.
