Abstract
An electrical adaptor 10 for providing transient suppression capabilities comprises housing members 12, 30, first and second connector subassemblies 44, 68, and dielectric subassembly 90 including dielectric substrate member 89 having electrical circuit component members 108 mounted thereon and means for grounding adaptor 10. First and second connector subassemblies 44, 68 include, respectively, first and second terminal members 46, 70 and first and second dielectric support members 52, 70. Dielectric substrate 89 includes a plurality of conductors 92 having first, second, and intermediate portions 94, 96, and 98 respectively and ground conductive area 102. First and second connector subassemblies are mounted to substrate 89 such that first and second terminal members 46, 70 are in electrical engagement with first and second conductor portions 94, 96 respectively. Components 108 are mounted to substrate 89 and are in electrical engagement with intermediate conductor portion 98 and ground area 102, thus providing protection from power surges for connectors mated to first and second connector subassemblies 44, 68 respectively.
