An integrated overvoltage and overcurrent circuit protection device (10) for use in telecommunication circuits. The integrated protected circuit device combines an overcurrent device such as a fuse (402) and an overvoltage protection device such as a thyristor to respectively protect against overcurrent conditions and transient overvoltages. Integration of the two devices in a common package ensures proper coordination and matching of the components, reduces the final product cost and reduces the physical space required on a telecommunications circuit for overvoltage and overcurrent circuit protection.
