Abstract

A fine arrestor having a body with a bore there through, an inner conductor within the bore, an inner conductor capacitor within the bore coupled between a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor, and an inner conductor inductor within the bore coupled electrically in parallel with the inner conductor capacitor. A first shorting portion coupled between the surge portion of the inner conductor and the body and a second shorting portion coupled between the protected portion of the inner conductor and the body, for conducting a surge to ground. Also, other coaxial in-line assemblies may be formed incorporating the inner conductor cavity for isolation of enclosed electrical components.

Claims (31)

1. A coaxial in-line assembly, comprising:

an inner conductor extending between a first connection interface and a second connection interface;

an inner conductor capacitor coupled between a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor;

an inner conductor cavity, the inner conductor cavity closed between a surge end of the inner conductor and a protected end of the inner conductor; and

an electrical component electrically coupled in series with the surge portion of the inner conductor and the protected portion of the inner conductor, enclosed within the inner conductor cavity.

2. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 1 , wherein the electrical component is an inductor.

3. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 1 , wherein the electrical component is a filter circuit.

4. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 1 , wherein the electrical component is an electrical circuit mounted upon a printed circuit board.

5. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 1 , wherein the inner conductor capacitor is a dielectric spacer positioned between the surge end of the inner conductor and the protected end of the inner conductor.

6. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 5 , wherein the dielectric spacer is a ring.

7. A coaxial in-line assembly, comprising:

a body with a bore therethrough;

an inner conductor within the bore;

an inner conductor capacitor within the bore coupled between a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor;

an inner conductor cavity, the inner conductor cavity closed between a surge end of the inner conductor and a protected end of the inner conductor; and

an electrical component electrically coupled in series with a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor, enclosed within the inner conductor cavity.

8. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 7 , wherein the electrical component is an inductor.

9. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 7 , wherein the electrical component is a filter circuit.

10. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 7 , wherein the electrical component is an electrical circuit mounted upon a printed circuit board.

11. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 7 , wherein the inner conductor capacitor is a dielectric spacer positioned between the surge end of the inner conductor and the protected end of the inner conductor.

12. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 11 , wherein the dielectric spacer is a ring.

13. A coaxial in-line assembly, comprising:

a body with a bore therethrough;

an inner conductor within the bore extending between a first connection interface and a second connection interface;

a dielectric spacer within the bore coupled between a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor;

an inner conductor cavity, the inner conductor cavity closed between the dielectric spacer, a surge end of the inner conductor and a protected end of the inner conductor; and

an electrical component electrically coupled in series with the surge portion of the inner conductor and the protected portion of the inner conductor, enclosed within the inner conductor cavity.

14. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 13 , wherein the electrical component is an inductor.

15. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 13 , wherein the electrical component is a filter circuit.

16. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 13 , wherein the electrical component is an electrical circuit mounted upon a printed circuit board.

17. The coaxial in-line assembly of claim 13 , wherein the dielectric spacer is a ring.
