Abstract (en)

A device (24) for protecting against electrical over stress (EOS) of electrical components includes first contacts (50, 56) that interconnect to signal contacts (18) of a connector (12) and a second contacts (68) that connect to the ground circuit (20) of the connector (12), with a rigid plastic housing (26) holding the device contacts so that ends (55, 65) have a precise spacing gap (71), the gap being filled with a material matrix (72) of insulating and conductive materials having characteristics in conjunction with the gap (71) to define transit voltage suppression by grounding the signal contacts (18) of a connector (12). The device (24) is made bendable to fit onto connectors and conform to the connector geometry. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
