  • Connector for electromagnetic impulse suppression
    Patent number: 4554608
    Abstract: A connector is provided for the suppression of electromagnetic impulses traveling along a radio frequency transmission line. Paired first and second electrical connectors are provided for being operatively interposed along the transmission line. First and second conductors are provided for electrically coupling the primary conductors and secondary conductors of one connector to their counterparts in the other paired connector. A discharge device or tube having a known breakdown voltage and a known capacitance is coupled between the first and second conductors. First and second capacitors are coupled in series respectively with the first and second conductors for blocking the flow of dc energy therethrough.
    Type: Grant

  • Connector for electromagnetic impulse suppression
    Patent number: 4359764
    Abstract: A connector is provided for the suppression of electromagnetic impulses traveling a radio frequency cable. Paired first and second electrical connectors are provided for being operatively interposed along the signal cable. A spacer or mounting device is provided for electrically coupling the primary conductors and secondary conductors of one connector to their counterparts in the other paired connector. A gas discharge tube having a known breakdown voltage and a known capacitance is electrically and mechanically coupled between the first and second conductors of the mounting device.
