[Elecraft] [OT] Help identifying a part

Byron Servies, and lo! it spake thus:

How about this?

    I have just looked through my Panasonic phone equipment manuals,
    and all employ devices designated " SAxxx ". On all of them, the
    parts list shows " varistor ( surge arrester ) ", so Franc is
    definitely right that this is what they are. This being the case,
    I would expect them to read open circuit on a normal multimeter.
