An apparatus and method for protecting hardware devices using a spiral inductor. The surge suppressor protects hardware devices from electrical surges by isolating the radio frequency from an inner conductor. The surge suppressor includes a housing (220), an inner conductor (215), a surge blocking device (250), and a spiral inductor (230). The surge blocking device (250) is inserted in series with the hardware devices for blocking the flow of electrical energy therethrough. The spiral inductor (230) is coupled to the surge blocking device (250) and is shunted to ground for discharging the electrical surge.
