A surge protection device (SPD) for protecting electrical circuits from transient overvoltage events is disclosed. The surge protection device includes an SPD base comprising a set of terminals and a set of slots electrically coupled to the terminals, and an SPD module comprising a housing, a set of pins configured to engage the slots, and a printed circuit board (PCB) bus contained within the housing. The PCB bus includes a first suppression circuit path and a second suppression circuit path. A suppression component is coupled to the first suppression circuit path. A switch is configured to automatically reconfigure the SPD from the first suppression circuit path to the second suppression circuit path upon failure of the suppression component. The SPD module may include a user-operable switch or jumper configured to select between a fail-open mode and a fail-closed mode. Redundant surge protection modules may be connected through a dual SPD base.
