Abstract:
The present invention comprises using an electrode (107) arranged with a small gap or opening (108) placed in parallel with an electrically sensitive component (105) and housed with a gas inside an enclosure (100) to form a discharge gap. Such configurations may protect against low level voltage spikes, but in so doing, do not significantly add input capacitance.
