Transient voltage absorption element

A transient voltage absorption element for being connected to a signal line in series and connected to a shunt between the signal line and a reference potential, the transient voltage absorption element comprising:

• a base material;
• a first input and output terminal in the base material and connected to the signal line;
• a second input and output terminal in the base material and connected to the signal line;
• a reference potential connection terminal in the base material and connected to the reference potential;
• an internal signal line that electrically connects the first input and output terminal to the second input and output terminal;
• and
• a surge absorption element connected between the internal signal line and the reference potential connection terminal,
• wherein the internal signal line is a wiring pattern of an electrical conductor having a predetermined resistance component in the base material,
• wherein a magnitude of an impedance of a parasitic capacitance component, in a frequency band of a signal propagating through the internal signal line, is smaller than a resistance component of the internal signal line, and
• wherein the base material further includes a dielectric layer, and two or more layers of the internal signal lines are disposed at positions with a dielectric film interposed therebetween.
