Abstract
An over-voltage protection plug for telecommunication installations, including a housing with a printed-circuit board, a voltagesurge suppressor, a slider, a spring, an earth plate, a signalling element. Reliable protection against voltage surges is provided, wherein the solder position is loaded to a minimum extent only. The plug is composed of few parts only and further permits automated manufacture at low cost, and which clearly shows the tripped condition at the outside. The slider is pre-loaded over a support face and over an edge at the inner housing wall in the housing by the spring. A shaped part of solder material is loaded to a minimum extent only by the spring force (pressure force) of the slider.
