Abstract:
A coaxial overvoltage protector, comprising:a coaxial transmission line defining an axis and having an inner conductor and an outer conductor; and a &lgr;/4 short-circuit line having an inner conductor radially branching off the inner conductor of the coaxial transmission line and having one end electrically contacted with the outer conductor of the coaxial transmission line, said inner conductor of the &lgr;/4 short-circuit line guided in insulated manner through a wall of the outer conductor of the coaxial transmission line into a chamber of the outer conductor so as to define a portion which is received in the chamber of the outer conductor, wherein the portion of the inner conductor of the &lgr;/4 short-circuit line, received in the chamber, is oriented at least approximately in a plane which is parallel to the axis of the coaxial transmission line.
