<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain, with a single body, characteristics equivalent to those of a series circuit of a thermistor and a resistor, by providing a terminal electrode and a resistor layer on each of both end surfaces and lateral surfaces of a thermistor element, and sequentially connecting the terminal electrode and the resistor layer in series. SOLUTION: Conductor layers 2, 3 and insulating layers 4, 5 are formed on both sides of a thermistor element 1, and a conductor layer 6 is formed on the conductor layer 2 between the insulating layers 4, 5. A conductor layer 7 is formed on the insulating layer 4, and a resistor layer 8 is formed between the conductor layers 6, 7. Insulating layers 11, 12 and terminal electrodes 13, 14 are formed on both end surfaces of the thermistor element 1. With this structure, the terminal electrode 13 is conductive only to the conductor layer 7, and the terminal electrode 14 is conductive only to the conductor layer 3. Therefore, a resistor-thermistor series connection element is provided in which the terminal electrode 13, the conductor layer 7, the resistor layer 8, the conductor layer 6, the conductor layer 2, the thermistor element 1, the conductor layer 3, and the terminal electrode 14 are connected in this order. With this composite element, a temperature compensation circuit or the like constituted by a thermistor, a capacitor and a resistor can be miniaturized.</p> |
