Dwight, not sure if I sent this to you at the right address. I found two companies that make external lightning protectors. The Citel are of the gas tube variety and I have used their products on p.c. boards.
Citel : http://www.citel2cp.com/ Atlantic Scientific Corp. : http://www.atlanticscientific.com/ I have received samples from both of them but haven't had a chance to test them yet. If you get samples and test them I would be interested in hearing about your results.

Com (E-mail) Subject: NEBS secondary protectors NEBS folks- Anyone know of external secondary protectors that can be installed outside of one's product to pass GR-1089 lightning and power cross testing? That is, if we don't have room on our boards for the fuse/sidactor circuitry, I understand a company can specify a certain protector be installed with the product to meet the requirement. Any experience doing this? thanks Dwight
