Abstract
A component with an internal conductor is so configured that it is ruptured at a predetermined position while forming an arc, if predetermined current/voltage conditions occur at the terminals of the component. The component includes a circuit element which is so arranged that an arc formed at the predetermined position can act on the circuit element such that the circuit element alters its electrical properties.
