    Abstract: A first sidewall of a housing includes a first wall face and a second wall face. The first sidewall includes a penetrative mounting hole. An insulation assembly is snugly connected to the first wall face or the second wall face. A first insulator includes a penetrative first through-hole. The first through-hole communicates with the mounting hole. An electrode post is disposed in the mounting hole and the first through-hole. When a temperature in an accommodation cavity rises to a first threshold, the first insulator is melted and generates, under an action of a gas pressure in the accommodation cavity of the housing, a pressure relief channel that communicates the accommodation cavity to the outside of the housing. The insulation assembly serves functions of both insulation and pressure relief, thereby not only reducing the material cost, but also improving the energy density of the electrochemical device.
