Abstract
An electrical connector interface (10) provides for voltage surge protection. The connector interface (10) includes electrical interface conductors (12), an electrical ground conductor (14), and a selectively conductive material (18). The ground conductor (14) is spaced apart from the electrical interface conductors (12), and the selectively conductive material (18) is electrically coupled to the electrical interface conductors (12) and to the electrical ground conductor (14). The selectively conductive material (18) has low electrical conductivity within a predetermined voltage range, and has high electrical conductivity outside the predetermined voltage range.
