The ring k×k, for a field k, has two prime ideals, 0×k and k×0. Their localizations at a prime ideal are both isomorphic to k. Nevertheless (1,0)(0,1)=0 is a product of nonzero elements, so A is not an integral domain. Nonzero orthogonal idempotents separate the two components of its spectrum of a commutative ring.
