A lead frame for a multi-chip module includes a first conductor structure disposed on a substrate and having first and second arms linked at an angle. The first conductor structure is connected to ground. The lead frame also includes a second conductor structure disposed on the substrate and connected to a voltage supply. The second conductor structure is spaced apart and electrically isolated from the first conductor structure. The first and the second conductor structures are arranged to flank a plurality of integrated circuits (ICs) including one or more surge protection ICs disposed on the substrate. The first conductor structure is electrically connected to the plurality of ICs to provide electrical connections to ground, and the second conductor structure is electrically connected to the plurality of ICs to provide electrical connections to the voltage supply.
