There are provided a process for manufacturing a PTC device as well as a PTC device manufactured by such process wherein a resin coating for preventing the oxidation can be easily formed. The PTC device includes (A) a polymer PTC component (14) comprising: (a1) an electrically conductive filler, and (a2) a polymer material wherein the polymer PTC component is defined by opposite main surfaces and a side surface connecting outer peripheries of these main surfaces, and (B) layered metal electrodes (12, 22) placed on the main surfaces on both sides of the polymer PTC component. The PTC device has a support member (20) extending outward from a periphery of at least one of the main surfaces, and the side surface of the polymer PTC component is sealed from an ambient environment around the PTC device by a cured curable resin (24) disposed and supported on the support member.
