Abstract

A electrostatic discharge suppression device including an electrostatic discharge reactance layer having a first side and a second side, a first electrode coupled to the first side and comprising a first extension projecting towards a first distal end of the device, and a second electrode coupled to the second side and including a second extension projecting towards a second end of the device, such that the first extension and the second extension overlap to form an electrode overlap area, wherein during an electrostatic discharge event, an electric current is passed between the first and second extensions through the electrostatic discharge layer in the electrode overlap area.
