    摘要: A surge protective device (SPD) module includes a varistor, an electrode and a thermal disconnector mechanism.
    The varistor includes a hole defined therein and extending through the varistor.
    The electrode includes a contact portion electrically connected to a contact surface of the varistor and an integral extension portion extending through the varistor hole.
    The thermal disconnector mechanism includes a spring elastically deflected and secured in electrical connection with the extension portion of the electrode via a solder.
    The solder is meltable in response to overheating in the SPD module, and the spring is configured to electrically disconnect the varistor from a module terminal when the solder is melted.
