Abstract:
A NTC thermistor which has superior linearity of resistance-temperature characteristic is provided without depending on a combination of two or more kinds of material but with a single semi-conductive ceramic material. As the semi-conductive ceramic material of negative resistance-temperature characteristic is a ceramic body constituting a NTC thermistor being an oxide expressed by the formula AMnyOz in which y is 0.8 to 1.6, A is a combination of rare earth element and barium and the content of barium in A is 60 to 75 mol % when y=0.8 to 1.5, and 50 to 63 mol % y=1.7 to 2.3, and z is a value which maintains the electric neutrality of the oxide. A preferable oxide is of the formula (La1-αBaα)MnyOz in which when y=0.8 to 1.5, 0.60≦α≦0.75, and when y=1.7 to 2.3, 0.50≦α≦0.63.
Abstract:
A surface-mount negative-characteristic thermistor includes a ceramic body composed of a semiconductor ceramic material including at least one of Mn, Ni, and Ti; external electrodes disposed on surfaces of the ceramic body; and plating films disposed on surfaces of the external electrodes. When the molar quantity of Mn in the semiconductor ceramic material is represented by a and when the molar quantity of Ni in the semiconductor ceramic material is represented by b, the molar ratio of Mn to Ni is in the range of 55/45≦a/b≦90/10, and when the total molar quantity of Mn and Ni in the semiconductor ceramic material is defined as 100 parts by mole, the content of Ti is in the range of about 0.5 parts by mole to about 25 parts by mole.
