Abstract
A surge suppressor and method for its manufacture. The surge suppressor includes a housing, a plurality of terminal busses contained within the housing, and a plurality of substantially planar conductive plates, each plate having two electrodes for electrical connection to two of the plurality of terminal busses. In one embodiment, by using five terminal busses pentagonally arranged around the plates, the surge protector requires only two types of plate/electrode configurations, thereby simplifying manufacture.
