It's not a blob of solder. Its usually either a thyristor or a gas spark gap thingy.
Err, it is normally a transorb or varisitror ( this sort of thing ) Spark gaps have the problem of staying in arc once struck, and are more suited to higher voltages, or smaller gas filled ones on LV when you do not mind the fuse being blown.
