Abstract: A surge protector block assembly includes a plurality of individual 5-pin housing units which are formed integrally together. Each of the plurality of individual housing units has a plurality of surface mountable socket contacts for receiving corresponding pins of a surge protector module. A single and/or multi-layer printed circuit board is provided with a plurality of solder pads. Each of the plurality of individual housing units is surface mounted onto the solder pads of the single and/or multi-layer printed circuit board for electrical connection to corresponding ones of the plurality of the socket contacts.

Abstract: A cable clip for resiliently retaining coaxial cables and the like against a mounting surface is provided which includes cable receiving means for accommodating cables of different-sized diameters in order to minimize nicks or dents thereto. In a preferred embodiment, the cable receiving means includes double cable receiving openings defined by first and second side walls of a housing member which are separated by a mid-portion, and a pair of flexible, resilient first and second fingers extending downwardly from the upper surface of the housing member.

Abstract: A multiple circuit building protector assembly for protecting telephone communication related equipment includes a two-piece interfitting housing, a printed circuit board sub-assembly, a plurality of first modular jacks connected to an exposed side, and a plurality of second modular jacks connected to a protected side. The printed circuit board is fixedly mounted internally of the housing and is adapted to receive a variety of different overvoltage and/or overcurrent protective circuit devices. A plurality of plug-in fuse modules are disposed in top recesses of the housing cover member.

Abstract: A display device includes a pair of first and second light sources arranged on a printed circuit board in a spaced-apart but close relationship to each other. A light-shielding tab is interposed between the first and second light sources for shielding light from an illuminated one of the pair of light sources from being transmitted to the other one of the light sources.

Abstract: A circuit protection assembly for protecting telephone communication related equipment includes a two-piece interfitting housing, a printed circuit board sub-assembly, an exposed side connector device, and a protected side connector device. The printed circuit board is mounted internally inside the housing and is adapted to receive any number of circuit protector combinations of overvoltage, overcurrent and line-status devices. Each of the exposed side and protected side connector devices can be one of several different types of connector so as to provide versatile mechanical connections to the circuit protectors.

Abstract: A telephone protector is contained within a housing having an input connection and an output connection. The protector comprises an externally accessible fuse compartment having fuse contact pairs. A removable fuse holder capable of locating a fuse within the fuse compartment is provided. A fuse holding element is disposed on the removable fuse holder capable of holding fuses with respect to the removable fuse holder and positioning the fuse in engagement with the fuse contact pairs. Strain relief means is provided to reduce strain on the wires entering the housing.

Abstract: A fuse carrier operable as a surge-current protector for cross-connecting two circuits utilizes standard amperage fuses arranged in an offset alignment and secured in a housing cavity against rotational, longitudinal, and transverse movement with the fuse blades maintained in an aligned and separated position and separate by a platform with an upright protruding member, which fuses are provided in a narrow-housing configuration.

Abstract: A transient voltage protector is provided for telephone lines and the like. An insulating plastic housing is provided with two pairs of terminals having female connections at the lower ends for association with selected terminals of a telephone terminal block. The upper ends of these terminals are of a male type and extend above the top of the housing for receipt of further elements such as bridging clips, plug-in fuse units, or line status indicators. An offset and raised portion of the housing carries a pair of zener diodes having lower wire terminals connected to two of the aforesaid terminals. The upper wire terminals of the zener diodes are connected to a grounding terminal having an upper portion extending above the housing in the form of two spaced tines for receipt of a common ground wire between the tines. The various terminals and the zener diodes and the housing have complementary structure for positioning of the terminals and the diodes within the housing.
