  • Patent number: 6344790
    Abstract: Corrosion resistant material is used for lead wires of the thermistor, and an exposed portion of electrodes of the thermistor and a portion surrounding a weld portion of the lead wires are coated with corrosion resistant material. Since the lead wires themselves are made of corrosion resistant material, no corrosion occurs in the welding portion and a cut working portion. Further, the lead wires and the exposed portion of the electrodes are coated with corrosion resistant material. Thereby an electronic device having extremely high corrosion resistivity and hence high durability and reliability is produced, with the result that the electronic device can be used for a long period without corrosion under the heavily corrosive environment, such as sulfur dioxide gas atmosphere.
