Method of Manufacturing a Varistor

摘要

A varistor including a varistor body with two parallel end faces made of a material that contains one or more metal oxides, and at least one electrode made of an electrically conductive electrode material arranged on any of the end faces of the varistor body. The electrode includes a layer of electrode material coated on the end face by means of an ion- or atom-transferring method, whereby the layer has a thickness within the interval of from 5 micrometers to 30 micrometers.
