Abstract
Abstract A transient suppression component includes a lead assembly adapted to permit in-line installation in a connector contact. One lead surrounds the other and is cylindrical for connection to the aperture tines of a connector ground plate. The other lead carries electrical signals between mating portions of the connector contact assembly. A transient suppression component body is connected between the feedthrough lead and the cylindrical ground lead.
