An electrochemical cell has a conductive housing that contains an anode and a cathode. The cathode is electrically isolated from the housing and the active anode material is electrically connected to the housing, thus making the housing the negative electrode terminal of the cell. The cell includes an electrically conductive pin that protrudes from the cell through an orifice in the cell housing and is electrically connected to the cathode to make the pin the positive electrode terminal of the cell. An electrically insulating member is disposed between the pin member and the wall of the orifice. The cell electrolyte comprises a metal perchlorate salt dissolved in a nonaqueous liquid. substantially preventing the build up of a conductive, corrosive deposit on the insulating member. |
