However, the semiconductor type surge absorbing element has a drawback that its characteristics are deteriorated or destroyed when a large surge current enters, as compared with the gap type surge absorbing element. This is because the semiconductor type surge absorbing element has a larger resistance value than the gap type surge absorbing element, and the amount of heat generated during the surge absorption is large and the element is thermally damaged. Particularly in a zinc oxide varistor, a high residual voltage is generated immediately after a surge is applied, which is a main cause of deterioration and destruction of its characteristics. Further, this residual voltage is applied to a circuit connected to the subsequent stage of the surge absorbing element, which adversely affects communication equipment.

The voltage surge of 1 is used as the surge absorber 1 of the embodiment.
3 shows a surge absorption waveform diagram when applied to No. 3, and FIG. 4 shows a surge absorption waveform diagram when applied to the surge absorber 30 of the comparative example. As shown in FIG. 4, in the surge absorber 30 of the comparative example, a residual voltage is generated up to about 400 μsec after the surge voltage is applied, and especially about 20 μsec to about 20 μsec.
A residual voltage of 0 to 150 V was generated. On the other hand, Fig. 3
As shown in FIG. 6, in the surge absorber 13 of the example, a residual voltage of about 250 V was generated immediately after applying the surge voltage as in the comparative example, but the residual voltage was absorbed in about 2 μsec.
From this, it was found that the surge absorber of the example can efficiently reduce the residual voltage. A residual voltage of about 50 V was generated after a lapse of about 200 μsec in the surge absorber of the example, which is considered to be due to the recovery of the bimetal piece.
