Abstract
A telephone line overvoltage protection device and a method of forming an overvoltage protection device are provided. A first terminal guard housing defines a plurality of terminal receiving channels. A second housing contains a printed wiring board and the first terminal guard housing is arranged for mating engagement with the second housing. A plurality of terminals are inserted in the terminal receiving channels. Each of the terminals includes an outwardly extending terminal portion extending outside the first terminal guard housing. The outwardly extending terminal portion of each of the terminals is formed to define a line of terminal portions corresponding to a plurality of terminal receiving apertures in the printed wiring board. Then the terminal portions are inserted in the terminal receiving apertures and soldered to the printed wiring board. The terminals are bent to position the printed wiring board and a mating portion of the first terminal guard housing for insertion into the second housing.
