Surge protection module and related components and methods

A method comprising:

• providing a carrier configured to receive at least one electrical conductor and at least one surge protection component, the carrier defining a pocket;
• providing a lug in the pocket of the carrier, the lug defining a hollow space;
• providing an electrical lead of a surge protection component in the hollow space of the lug;
• providing an electrical conductor in the hollow space of the lug;
• and
• pressing the lug to crimp the lug onto the electrical lead of the surge protection component and the electrical conductor, such that the electrical lead and the electrical conductor are physically coupled to one another and electrically coupled to one another,
• wherein the carrier defines a first pocket and a second pocket, each of the first pocket and the second pocket configured for receiving a lug defining a hollow space, and wherein providing the lug in the pocket of the carrier comprises:
• providing a first lug in the first pocket, the first lug defining a first hollow space;
• and
• providing a second lug in the second pocket, the second lug defining a second hollow space;
• and
• providing the electrical lead of the surge protection component in the hollow space of the lug comprises:
• providing a first electrical lead of the surge protection component in the first hollow space of the first lug;
• and
• providing a second electrical lead of the surge protection component in the second hollow space of the second lug.
