Electrostatic discharge protection for electrical or electronic devices involves providing voltage protection drain that includes material accumulation that is directly or indirectly placed in contact with electrical connection

摘要

An electrical connection (3) e.g. pin on a printed circuit board (1) and over a voltage protection drain is connected to an electrical opposite pole. The voltage protection drain includes a material accumulation (10) comprising varistor characteristics-exhibiting material and is provided directly or indirectly in contact with the connection. An independent claim is included for a method for the production of a voltage protection drain.
