  • PTC-RESISTOR
    Publication number: 20110254652
    Abstract: A PTC-resistor includes a base body made of a ceramic material with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance. The base body extends along a median plane, and is confined by surfaces. At least one surface is configured to electrically connect the base body. An area of the at least one surface is larger than an area of a parallel projection of the base body in a direction perpendicular to the median plane.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 15, 2011
    Publication date: October 20, 2011
    Applicant: EPCOS AG
    Inventors: Jan Ihle, Werner Kahr, Markus Rath

  • MOLD COMPRISING A PTC-CERAMIC
    Publication number: 20090146042
    Abstract: A mold includes a fluid channel, a fluid inlet, and a fluid outlet. The mold is manufactured, at least in part, from a PTC-ceramic material. Upon application of a voltage to the mold, the mold is heated such that a fluid passing through the fluid channel may also be subject to heating.
