Abstract
Electrical connector including surge protection for a
plurality of circuits, this connector (10) having a plurality
of electrical contacts (300) extending through a connector
shell (100) and mounted by insulating members (210,
220) to the shell (100), the insulating members (210, 220)
defining a sealed chamber (500) within an intermediate
portion of the shell (100); a ground plane (400) is mounted
to the shell (100) within the sealed chamber (500) and
includes a plurality of apertures (410), each aperture
(410) receiving a contact (300) Therethrough with the
contact (300) being smaller than the aperture (410) to
provide a spacing (415) between the contact (300) and
the ground plane aperture (410), the spacing (415) and
the sealed chamber (500) being filled with a low pressure
inert gas having a small amount of ionizable gas; in re
sponse to an electrical potential surge on the contact
(300) (e.g., from lightning), the ionizable gas breaks down
and allows a arc to pass between the contact (300) and
the ground plane (400) to thereby dissipate electrical
energy of said electrical potential surge.
