Claim:
1. A surge protector for protecting telecommunications related equipment and other associated sensitive electrical components from over-voltage transient occurring on tip/ring conductors of telecommunication lines coupled thereto, comprising: a printed circuit board; a plurality of surge protection circuits being mounted on said printed circuit board; a common transient voltage clamping device having a first end connected to said first conductor lead and a second end connected to said second conductor lead so as to be shared by said plurality of surge protection circuits; a common pair of series-connected rectifier diodes having a first end also connected to said first conductor lead and a second end also connected to said second conductor lead so as to be shared by said plurality of surge protection circuits; an input side connector device coupled to the respective tip and ring nodes for connecting to incoming telecommunication lines; and an output side connector device coupled to the respective tip and ring nodes for connecting to customers' electrical equipment to be protected, the ratio of the width of tip and ring conductive traces on the printed circuit board to the distance of separation between the tip conductive trace and the ring conductive trace being 1:1 so as to reduce transmission loss.
