Abstract
A transient suppression contact assembly, capable of low working voltages and high energy handling capacity, including lightning suppression, employs a multilayered varistor as the transient suppression device. The varistor is mounted in a notch in the contact and connected to ground via a ground sleeve. An insulator sleeve separates the ground sleeve from the contact, and both the insulator sleeve and ground sleeve include a gap or groove extending the length of the sleeve to permit the sleeves to be snapped onto the contact and aligned without the need for additional adhesive staking operations.
