Abstract
Disclosed is a device and method of manufacture which provides a maintenance termination unit (MTU) and surge protector in a single 5-pin package. The components for both the MTU and surge protector are formed on a single printed circuit board separated by a groove but electrically connected by a plurality of wires. After wave soldering the contacts on the board, the board is broken apart while maintaining the electrical connection, and the resulting structure is mounted in a 5-pin package.
