Abstract:
A ceramic resistor with a nonlinear voltage dependency comprising a ZnO-based sinter containing at least one rare earth element oxide, cobalt oxide, chromium oxide, at least one Group IIIb element oxide, at least one Group Ia element oxide, 0.01-2 at.% (in terms of Ca) of calcium oxide and 0.001-0.5 at.% (in terms of Si) of silicon oxide and having the atomic ratio of calcium to silicon ranging from 0.2 to 20, preferably from 2 to 6. Since this element has the above-specified atomic ratio (Ca/Si), it has an extremely long service life even under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. Further it is reduced in the deterioration of asymmetry of the current-voltage relationship due to a difference in the direction of applying a direct current. When 0.05-10 at.% (in terms of Mg) of magnesium oxide is further added to the above composition, the above effects can be further enhanced and the grain growth is inhibited even when firing is conducted at a high temperature, with the result that the leakage current is reduced.
Abstract:
The PTC thermistor material of the invention comprises a matrix phase and electrically conductive phases substantially uniformly dispersed in the matrix phase, said conductive phases having a resistivity lower than that of the matrix phase, and has a resistivity changing sharply in the vicinity of the melting point of the conductive phases. The matrix phase is made up of any one of a polycrystalline ceramic material, a glass-polycrystalline ceramic composite material, a glass, a crystallized glass, and a polymer material, and the conductive phases are made up of a metal containing bismuth as a main component. It is thus possible to achieve a PTC thermistor material which can be controlled in terms of various properties such as the temperature at which PTCR property becomes available and the rate of resistivity change and so can be applied to circuit parts through which large currents pass in a normal operation state. Further, the PTC thermistor material can be easily manufactured with the stable PTCR property maintained. Furthermore, the PTC thermistor material can be operated with an increased rated current albeit being of small size, and has a high degree of shape freedom.
Abstract:
A rapid heating element is provided with a heating section (1) and a lead section (2). The heating section (1) is equipped with a heating section ceramic conductor. The heating-section conductor is composed of four or more heating-section conductive layers (1a) alternated with heating-section insulating layers (1c) and heating-section conductive layer connecting sections (1b) connecting the adjacent heating-section conductive layers (1a). The lead section (2) is equipped with a lead-section ceramic conductor which is composed of first and second lead-section conductive layers (2a and 2b), and a ceramic lead-section insulating layer (2c) sandwiched between the conductive layers (2a, 2b). Therefore, a highly durable rapid heating element which can be efficiently and inexpensively manufactured while maintaining its characteristics as a heating element can be provided.
Abstract:
A rectangular plate shaped rapid temperature rise heater element includes a sintered insulating ceramic layer, an exothermic section, and first and second lead layers for applying voltage across the exothermic section to develop heat. Typically the sintered insulating ceramic layer, exothermic section, and lead layers are formed of ceramic compositions composed mainly of an identical insulating component in the form of a metal oxide, typically Al2O3 and an identical conductive component in the form of a metal silicide and/or carbide, typically MoSi2, blended in different ratios for the respective layers. The heater element is easy and inexpensive to manufacture, capable of rapid heating, and durable.
