ABSTRACT:
A surge arrester has a single varistor element or a stack of varistor elements held between two end terminals by a plurality of elongate strength members disposed therearound. The ends of the strength members are inserted into recesses in the end terminals. Crimping of the end terminals distorts the recesses sufficiently to hold the strength members firmly therewithin, but without shearing and crushing (or otherwise damaging) the strength members.
