PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a further low-resistance chip-type thermistor, by increasing the areas of its electrodes, without altering the dimension of its chip-type thermistor element body. SOLUTION: The chip-type thermistor includes a rectangular parallelopiped- like chip elementary body, having three pairs of side surfaces opposed to each other and includes main electrode portions, which are formed respectively on a pair of opposite rectangular side surfaces to each other, including the major sides of the chip elementary body. Each external electrode of the chip-type thermistor comprises each main electrode portion and each side-surface electrode portion, which is so formed that each side-surface electrode portion penetrates from each of the pair of side surfaces, whereon the main electrode portions are formed to the other four side surfaces adjacent thereto. Further, the pair of external electrodes are so formed on the other four side surfaces that they have gaps mutually between them. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
