Abstract
A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a current interrupting mechanism with excellent impact and vibration resistance. The mechanism includes a fragile portion which breaks when the diaphragm deforms and rises upward, thereby interrupting current flow thereto; and an insulating current collecting tab holder into which a part of a current collecting tab is inserted. The tab holder has a tab receiving portion into which the insert member of the tab is inserted. The tab receiving portion is provided on the inner and outer surfaces thereof with a holder hole, which overlaps with a throughhole when the insert member is inserted. The diaphragm is disposed outside the tab receiving portion so as to cover the holder hole and electrically connected at its center bottom to the fragile portion via the holder hole. The gas pressure in the battery acts on the fragile portion and the inner side of the diaphragm.
