Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9823018A1] A method of making a transient voltage protection device includes forming conductive lines (12, 14) on a substrate (10) where the lines form conductive paths between electronic components. A gap of 3 mils or less is formed in at least one of the lines by cutting the line with a saw or a laser. The gap is covered or filled with a neat unfilled polymer, glass or ceramic (22) to prevent contamination of the air space in the gap.
