Variable voltage protection structures and method for making same

摘要

A variable voltage protection component is provided with a reinforcing layer of insulating material having a substantially constant thickness embedded in a voltage variable material. The reinforcing layer defines a uniform thickness for the variable voltage protection component that is resistant to compressive forces that may cause a reduction in the clamp voltage or a short in the voltage variable material. In addition, the variable voltage protection device component can be attached to a compressible ground plane to form a variable voltage protection device.
