Abstract

PURPOSE:To freely control a surge response voltage by sealing a sealing tube with argon gas under a pressure higher than air pressure. CONSTITUTION:In a micro-gas type surge absorption element, an argon gas pressure sealed in a glass tube is made higher than air pressure for reducing a gap width to be formed, thus freely controlling a discharge starting voltage and a surge response voltage. The surge absorption element has such a structure that a conductive film 2 is formed on the surface of a cylindrical ceramic insulator 3, thus forming an insulating groove or micro-gap with an insulated outer package 6 sealed with argon gas 7.
