Abstract
The surge absorber having a surge absorbing element, and first and second wire means for electrically connecting the surge absorbing element across the input lines of an electronic device. The first and second wire means are connected to the surge absorber by conductive heat releasable means, for example, a low melting point solder. The second wire means includes a spring loaded member such that, on release of the first or second wire means by the first or second heat releasable means, respectively, by melting of the solder due to heat generated by the surge absorbing element, the surge absorbing element moves away from the first or second wire means. The surge absorber prevents an abnormal heating of the surge absorbing element when continuous overvoltages or overcurrents pass therethrough.
