<p>An organic thermistor device has a pair of outer electrodes formed facing each other on end parts of a thermistor body made of an organic thermistor material. Metallic wires extend inside and through the thermistor body transversely to the direction in which the outer electrodes face each other such that the resistance value at normal temperatures of the device can be significantly reduced. Both exposed surfaces of the thermistor body not covered by the outer electrodes and exposed end surfaces of the metallic wires not covered by the thermistor body may be all covered by an electrically insulating layer. To produce such organic thermistor devices, an elongated wire-containing member is prepared by molding an organic thermistor material by covering metallic wires extending longitudinally parallel to one another. It is then entirely covered with an electrically insulating material but portions of it are removed from a pair of longitudinally continuous external peripheral surface areas. Outer electrodes are thereafter formed on this pair of surface areas and the wire-containing member is then cut transversely to the direction of its elongation at specified positions to divide into individual elements. The newly exposed surfaces of these individual elements by cutting may be covered by an electrically insulating material.</p> |
