Abstract

The present invention relates to a polymer PTC thermistor and a temperature sensor using the same. The polymer PTC thermistor, including a conductive polymer 1 having PTC characteristics and electrodes 2 and 3 joined to the conductive polymer 1, characterized in that the electrodes 2 and 3 are provided along two sides 1 a and 1 b of the plate-like conductive polymer 1 and are separated from the edges of the sides 1 a and 1 b, and resin films 4 and 5 are formed which cover the sides 1 a and 1 b so as to wrap the electrodes 2 and 3.

Claims (9)

1 . A polymer PTC thermistor comprising:

a conductive polymer having PTC characteristics, and

an electrode joined to the conductive polymer,

wherein the electrode is disposed along a side having the conductive polymer and is separated from an edge of the side, and a resin film covers the side so as to wrap the electrode.

2 . The polymer PTC thermistor according to claim 1 , characterized in that a conductive polymer is formed in a plate, electrodes are provided respectively on two sides of the conductive polymer, and resin films respectively cover the two sides so as to wrap the electrodes.

3 . The polymer PTC thermistor according to claim 1 , characterized in that two electrodes are separately provided on one side of the conductive polymer and the resin film covers the side so as to wrap the two electrodes.

4 . A temperature sensor characterized by using the polymer PTC thermistor according to claim 1 as a temperature sensor element.

5 . A temperature sensor characterized by using the polymer PTC thermistor according to claim 2 as a temperature sensor element.

6 . A temperature sensor characterized by using the polymer PTC thermistor according to claim 3 as a temperature sensor element.
