Abstract
An Electro Static Discharge protection device that is provided to protect sensitive electronics on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) from inadvertent electrical discharge. The protective device is formed as an intervening structure between a contact surface and a PCB and utilizing the same ground as used by the PCB. When an electrical discharge occurs, the discharge is directed toward the PCB and directed to at least one ground point on the PCB so as to avoid damage to sensitive components.
