A surge voltage protector having a tubular ceramic part as an insulator, and having metal electrodes soldered onto the end faces thereof. Each electrode is electrically connected in each case to an ignition aid applied at least to the inside wall of the ceramic part. The inside edges of the surfaces joining the ceramic part to the electrodes are each provided with a chamfer whose chamfer angle is 15.degree. to 60.degree. relative to the plane of the joining surfaces. The width projected onto the plane of the joining surface is 0.05 to 0.4 mm.

Surge voltage protector

In the pump piston for axial piston pumps which comprises a ceramic piston and a drive member of metallic material the ceramic piston has an end face of which from 20 to 80% is in the form of a joint surface for a soldered connection to the drive member.
