Abstract
A metal oxide varistor (MOV) includes an MOV body, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a thermal cut-off insulation shell. The MOV body is a crystalline microstructure with zinc oxide mixed with one or more other metal oxides. The first electrode is adjacent one side of the MOV body and is connected to a first radial lead. The second electrode is adjacent a second side of the MOV body and is connected to a second radial lead having a curved portion. The thermal cut-off insulation shell is adjacent the second electrode and has a protrusion, with the curved portion of the second radial lead being adjacent the protrusion.
