The present invention is an electrostatic discharge protection device having a low trigger voltage. The device can utilize a process of manufacturing a PCB to minimize costs and manufacturing time. The device comprises: a discharge area, which is essentially a space within the device and can be filled by a material having a desired breakdown voltage, and at least two electrode areas, wherein the two electrode areas are substantially electrically isolated from each other and simultaneously adjacent to or within the discharge area. When an electric potential difference between the electrode areas exceeds a predetermined value, a conductive path between the electrode areas will be created by discharging through the discharge area. The device is characterized in that each of the two electrodes is a part of a conductive plate, and the two conductive plates become a part of the device by pressing or adhering so that a gap for electric isolation exists between the two electrode areas.
