A voltage spike protection device for protecting electronic components in an electric circuit against ESD spikes. The device comprises a closed housing (3, 4, 5, 6) which is preferably formed as a surface mount package and which contains two electrodes (7; 8) each having a proximal region (13; 12) separately electrically connectable external of the housing (3, 4, 5, 6) to provide a shunt path for voltage spikes in the electric circuit away from the electronic components and a distal region (9; 10). The distal regions (9; 10) of each electrode are dimensioned and separated by a gap (11) to provide a flash-over voltage less than a component damaging voltage and a GHz response frequency for the device and are preferably formed as triangular conducting layers of constant thickness sandwiched between insulating material (5, 6). |
