Sacrificial part

Sacrificial part

A sacrificial part is a part of a machine or product that is intentionally engineered to fail under excess mechanical stress, electrical stress, or other unexpected and dangerous situations. The sacrificial part is engineered to fail first, and thus protect other parts of the system.

Examples of sacrificial part include:
* Electrical fuses
* Over-pressure burst disks
* Mechanical shear pins
