Abstract
A line protector and associated termination structure comprises a module having printed circuit board wiring internally thereof and also as outwardly projecting contacts adapted for connection to a printed circuit board edge connector. An insulator is disposed against the printed circuit board and is slidable therealong and optionally serves to interrupt the tip in and ring in sides of the telephone line when it is desired to place the protector module in the so-called 'detent' position. The protector module may be restored to its normal operating condition by retracting the insulator or by removing the module entirely from its position in the connector and then reinserting the module fully into the connector. This latter operation automatically slides the insulator to its non-detent position.
