A surge protector comprises a coaxial through-section having a first inner conductor, a first outer conductor, and a first dielectric disposed between the first inner conductor and the first outer conductor, and a coaxial shorting stub having a second inner conductor and a second outer conductor. The stub has a first end and a second end. The stub being coupled to the coaxial through-section wherein the second inner conductor is conductively coupled to the first inner conductor at the first end of the stub and the second outer conductor is conductively coupled to the first outer conductor at the first end of the stub. The second inner conductor is substantially hollow. The second inner conductor has at least one helical aperture disposed therein. The at least one helical aperture is continuous for at least about one revolution around the second inner conductor. A shorting plate is conductively coupled to the second inner and second outer conductors at the second end of the stub.
