Arrester housing with weak section

摘要

An electrical device includes a housing with first and second portions. Each of the first and second portions has a first insulative layer and a second conductive layer. The first and second layers define an inner cavity. The second portion has opposing first and second lateral sides with the first layer defining a first thickness at the first lateral side and a second thickness at the second lateral side. An electrically conductive member is received within the inner cavity in the first portion. At least one electrical component is received within the inner cavity at the second portion. A weak section is defined by the first thickness at the first lateral side being substantially less than the second thickness at the second lateral side diametrically opposite it at given points along a longitudinal axis of the second portion.
