Abstract
A protector module, or assembly, for telephone lines and similar systems, has line terminals and a ground terminal in the base. The line circuit is between a related pair of line terminals. The line circuit includes part of a line bracket which extends up the side of the housing. The line bracket extends to the outer end of the housing and an aperture in the end of the housing permits access by a test probe to the line bracket. Normally, two line brackets are provided each associated with a pair of line terminals. A ground bracket also extends up the housing, being connected at one end to the ground terminal and having a flange at its other end. Between the outer end of the line bracket and the flange on the ground bracket a back-up or other form of protector member can be positioned.
