Abstract

A separator ( 1 ) having heat resistant insulation layers for an electric device includes a resin porous substrate ( 2 ), and heat resistant insulation layers ( 3 ) formed on both surfaces of the resin porous substrate ( 2 ) and containing heat resistant particles having a melting point or a thermal softening point of 150° C. or higher. A parameter X represented by the following mathematical formula 1 is greater than or equal to 0.15: X = ( A ′ + A ″ ) C × ( A ′ / A ″ ) 2 [ Math ⁢ ⁢ 1 ] where A′ and A″ represent thicknesses (μm) of the respective heat resistant insulation layers ( 3 ) formed on both surfaces of the resin porous substrate ( 2 ) while fulfilling a condition of A′≧A″, and C represents the entire thickness (μm) of the separator ( 1 ) having heat resistant insulation layers.
