The invention discloses a
lightning protection device comprising a piezoresistor and a gas
discharge tube, the piezoresistor is provided with a first surface and a second surface opposite to the firstsurface, and a first
electrode connected with the piezoresistor is welded on the first surface of the piezoresistor, and a second
electrode connected with the piezoresistor is welded on the second surface of the piezoresistor, one side face of the gas
discharge tube is welded on the second surface of the piezoresistor and is connected with the second
electrode, and a third electrode connected with the gas
discharge tube is welded on the other side face of the gas discharge tube. The invention further discloses a surge protection device comprising the
lightning protection device. Due to the direct
welding of the
lightning protection device with the gas discharge tube through the piezoresistor, the
welding pins and
welding points are reduced, the circuit loop is shorter, and meanwhile, theresidual
voltage of the whole lightning protection device circuit can be lower, and the corresponding time is shorter.
