Abstract:
1. An overvoltage protection device for an electronic apparatus having a plug-in device which has at least one plug-in element and is mountable on a housing of the electronic apparatus wherein a protection board ( 9 ) having a spark gap to dissipate overvoltages is arranged on the plug-in element ( 3 ); wherein the protection board ( 9 ) forms the spark gap together with the plug-in element ( 3 ); wherein the protection board ( 9 ) has an electrically conductive structure ( 19 , 22 ) forming the spark gap; wherein the electrically conductive structure of the protection board ( 9 ) has a form of a conductor track, with a zone ( 27 , 2 B; 31 ) of the conductor track which is free of solder resist being arranged in a vicinity of an opening ( 13 ) accommodating a plug-in elememt ( 5 ), and wherein the zone ( 31 ) which is free of the solder resist is formed in a solder land ( 30 ). which surrounds the opening ( 13 ), in the solder resist ( 29 ).
