Abstract
This invention relates to a protection module provided to receive an overvoltage arrester in a receptacle and designed to plug on the protection ring of a telephone line interconnection module. The receptacle presents a receiving cavity adapted to receive overvoltage arresters of different dimensions, and it contains three elastic contacts, viz. two line contacts each with two contact strips and an earth contact with contact clamp. A thermofusible insulating shim is inserted between four additional earth lugs and the body of the overvoltage arrester in order to ensure short-circuiting of the latter in the event of functioning due to a lightning strike.
