Abstract
A device for protecting electrical circuit components from surges induced by transient electromagnetic fields by isolating such components in a region of substantially uniform and constant field is disclosed. The device generally comprises at least two substantially identical conducting members in spaced, stacked relation, forming in the spaces between adjacent members a central component receiving region of substantially uniform and constant field surrounded in turn by a transitional region, a high energy storage region, and a second transitional region such that under surge conditions the device will remain electrically stable and the energy of the surge will be stored in the high energy storage region leaving the component protecting region substantially unaffected.
