A positive temperature coefficient thermistor device includes a laminate of a lower insulating plate, a positive temperature coefficient thermistor element, and terminal assemblies. The laminate is disposed in a hollow portion in a metal body. The device also includes a pressure spring made of a metal plate that is bent such that the cross-sectional shape thereof in a plane substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction thereof is substantially constant. The pressure spring is disposed between the top surface of the hollow portion and the terminal assembly adjacent to the top surface of the hollow portion such that the pressure spring and the laminate are resiliently supported inside the hollow portion. With this structure, the pressure spring can be easily inserted without damaging electrodes of the positive temperature coefficient thermistor element, and an insulator can be easily arranged without damaging the insulator.
