Abstract
A station protector, particularly for telephone lines, has a housing with wells in which are positioned protector module assemblies, one for each line. Each line is connected to a basket member positioned in the bottom of a well and having cantilever legs extending upwards. A protector module assemlby is insertable in the top of each well and a bottom electrode of the protector module pushes down the basket member against a spring bias. If no protector module assembly, or if only a housing of such an assembly without a protector module, is inserted in a well, the basket member moves up and the legs move into contact with a metal collar at the top of the well, the collars connected to a ground terminal. The protector module assemblies connect to the metal collars, as by being screwed into position.
