<p>A connector assembly includes a metal oxide varistor that diverts current when system operating voltages exceed a predetermined voltage limit. The connector assembly is used to connect a printed circuit board to a vehicle device such as an airbag assembly, for example. The connector assembly includes a first connector that cooperates with the printed circuit board and a second connector that cooperates with the vehicle device. The metal oxide varistor is mounted within one of the first or second connector housing members. Mounting the metal oxide varistor directly within the connector assembly removes the metal oxide varistor from is traditional position on the printed circuit board and allows the overall size of the printed circuit board to be reduced.</p> |
