A laminated current surge protector comprising a flexible, conformable arrestor having a metal conductor encapsulated between a wear resistant tape adhered to the outer surface of the conductor and a dielectric tape adhered to the inner surface of the conductor. The arrestor is adhered to metal members by a bonding agent and extends across the joint between the members which includes an electrical insulating medium separating the members. The dielectric tape has a plurality of apertures therein exposing the encapsulated conductor to the metal members to provide a gap through which excessive surges of current in the metal members can pass through the conductor from one metal member to the other and thereby by-pass the joint and prevent injury thereto.
