PTC CHIP THERMISTOR

摘要

A PTC Chip thermistor has a large rate of increase in resistance when overcurrent flows, and it has a high voltage rating. The thermistor comprises a first main electrode (12a) and a first auxiliary electrode (12b) on a first side of a conductive PTC polymer (11); a second main electrode (12c) and a second auxiliary electrode (12d) on a second side opposite the first; and first and second side electrodes (13a, 13b) on edges of the conductive polymer (11). The first main electrode (12a) has cuts (14) near its contact with the first side electrode (13a), while the second main electrode (12c) has cuts (14) near its contact with the second side electrode (13b).
