Abstract: A thermistor, which is to be mounted on a PCB, for protecting other circuit elements is disclosed. Electrode patterns separately formed on both surfaces of a film resistance element are respectively shaped into two parts which are engaged to each other with a non-conductive gap interposed therebetween. Thus, a Tombstone phenomenon caused by asymmetric structure may be fundamentally prevented. Grooves are formed in both sides of the thermistor, and connection portions for electrically connecting the electrodes formed on both surfaces of the thermistor are formed through the inside of the grooves or through the sides except the grooves. Thus, though a crack arises in the connection portion, it is possible to prevent the crack from being propagated to the entire connection portion along the side of the thermistor.

Abstract: A thermistor of which resistance is changed depending on temperature and a secondary battery to which the thermistor is attached are disclosed. The thermistor is attached to an object via a lead which is made of different kinds of materials. The lead is configured so that a part of the lead to be united to the thermistor electrode is mainly made of the same material as the electrode and a part of the lead to be united to the object is mainly made of the same material as the surface of the object. Thus, the thermistor may be simply attached to the object only using the ultrasonic welding, thereby remarkably reducing junction inferiorities.

Abstract: A thermistor is disclosed, which comprises a resistance element having upper and lower surfaces and showing a resistance varying characteristics according to the change of temperature; first and second conductive layers formed on the upper surface of the resistance element and engaged to each other with a non-conductive gap interposed therebetween; first and second electrodes formed on the lower surface of the resistance element and electrically separated from each other; a first connector for electrically connecting the first conductive layer to the first electrode; and a second connector for electrically connecting the second conductive layer to the second electrode. Thus, the thermistor has a structurally point-symmetric shape, so it is possible to prevent the Tombstone phenomenon, caused by an asymmetric structure.

Abstract: PTC conductive polymer composition includes organic polymer containing polyolefin components essentially consisting of 30˜40 w % high density polyethylene (HDPE), 20˜40 w % low density polyethylene (LDPE) and 10˜30 w % ethylene-acrylic-acid (EAA) or ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA), and 20˜30 w % high or low density polyethylene which is denaturated into maleic anhydride compound; 60˜120 w % electrical conductive particles dispersed into the organic polymer, the electrical conductive particles by weight of the organic polymer; and 0.2˜0.5 w % peroxidic cross-linking agent added for cross-linking reaction by weight of the organic polymer. Thus, it becomes possible to control PTC characteristics such as switching temperature and trip time of an electrical device by suitably adjusting an added amount of the polyethylene, which is denaturated into maleic anhydride compound.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lithium secondary battery with high stability and excellent performance, and its manufacturing method. The lithium secondary battery includes a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material, a conductive material and a binding material and a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material and a binding material, and PTC powder is contained in at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. If the battery is overheated due to overcharge, the PTC powder contained in the positive electrode and/or the negative electrode abruptly increases electric resistance to break electric current, thereby preventing further increase of temperature and resultantly preventing fire or explosion. In addition, the conductive material is contained separately from the PTC powder, performance of the battery is not deteriorated in the normal operation.
