    Abstract: A disconnection device, in particular for disconnecting two electrically connected electrochemical elements. The present invention also relates to a device for short-circuiting two electrodes of opposite polarity in an electrochemical element. The subject matter of the invention includes an assembly comprising: ⋅ a) a connecting part (3) and ⋅ b) a disconnection device (4), the disconnection device being intended to disconnect two electrochemical elements (1, 2) connected by the connecting part (3), the disconnection device (4) comprising: ⋅ i) microparticles (5) capable of expanding when their temperature reaches a threshold value, the threshold value being below 150° C., ⋅ ii) a capsule (4a, 4b) enclosing all of the microparticles (5), the capsule (4a, 4b) being arranged such that when the temperature of the microparticles (5) reaches the threshold value, the expansion of the microparticles disconnects the connection between the two electrochemical elements (1, 2).

    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrochemical bundle comprising a plurality of stacks each including a first polarity electrode, a second polarity electrode, a first separator and a second separator. Each first polarity electrode comprises an electrical connection tab.
    The electrochemical bundle comprises a first metallic separator interposed between each pair of adjacent electrical connection tabs. The first separator is attached to at least one of said electrical connection tabs.
    The first separator extends, between each pair of adjacent electrical connection tabs, between a lower edge and an upper edge.
    The upper edges of the first separator are substantially flush with the upper edges of the electrical connection tabs.
