Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides an over-voltage surge protection device comprising a printed circuit board having a signal carrying conductive member having a plurality of nodes positioned therealong, and a conductive member running to ground also having a plurality of odes positioned therealong. The nodes on the signal carrying member and ground member extend along a common path with corresponding ones of the signal carrying nodes positioned in adjacent, but spaced relation to the ground nodes. The peripheral edges of the nodes accumulate and discharge transient high voltage surges. Preferably the nodes are shaped in the form of triangles due to this particular geometry's favorable ability to accumulate and discharge voltage, but may be formed in a variety of geometries.
