Abstract (en)

An electrical connector (46) capable of suppressing voltages outside a specified level is disclosed. The connector (46) having a dielectric housing (54) with a series of passageways (55) extending therethrough, electrical terminal members (28) in the series of passageways (55) is characterized in that a dielectric substrate member (24) having a series of conductive paths (40) disposed thereon is associated with the dielectric housing member (54), a ground conductive area (26) is associated with the dielectric member, transient suppression devices (30) are electrically connected between respective conductive paths (40) and the ground conductive area (26), and electrical terminal members (28) are electrically connected to respective conductive paths (40). The transient suppression devices (30) will suppress voltages outside of a specified level as they are conducted through the terminal members (38), thus protecting the connector (46) from power surges.
