- the insulating plate may be arranged so as to overlap with a region of the terminal plate that is more inward than the intended rupture portion in the axial direction of the case.

Such pushing up can promote rupture of the intended rupture portion.
- the conductive cap may have a second thin-walled portion that is thinner than the surrounding area.
- the center between the innermost and outermost peripheries of the second thin-walled portion may be located closer to the outer periphery than the center between the innermost and outermost peripheries of the insulating plate.
