  • Publication number: 20040259007
    Abstract: An electrically conductive composition can be obtained that provides an electrically conductive coating having low volume resistivity and high electrical conductivity comparable to that of metallic silver independent of high-temperature film deposition conditions, while also enabling the line width of an electrical circuit to be sufficiently narrow without having to increase thickness in the case of forming an electrical circuit of a flexible circuit board and so forth.

  • Patent number: 6664479
    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board (FPC) comprises a base film; a base film side adhesive layer provided on the base film; a metal foil layer on which a pattern circuit is formed, provided on the base film side adhesive layer; and a cover layer side adhesive layer provided on the metal foil layer, wherein at least one of the base film side adhesive and the cover layer side adhesive layer has a higher glass transition temperature than an operating temperature of the flexible printed circuit board, so that the FPC has a stable flexibility at high temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5351390
    Abstract: PTC (positive temperature coefficient) thermistors of a novel configuration and a method for their manufacture. The PTC thermistors have a PTC element sandwiched between two electrodes for which leads are formed as an extension of each of the two electrodes protruding beyond the edge of the PTC element. Several manufacturing methods avoid undue thermal and physical stress to the PTC composition while providing PTC thermistors having a variety of shapes and configurations.

  • Patent number: 5174924
    Abstract: A conductive polymer composition exhibiting positive temperature coefficient behavior comprising:(a) a crystalline polymer having dispersed therein(b) carbon black having an average particle diameter of at least about 60 millimicrons and a DBP absorption of at least about 80 cc/100 g.Circuit protection devices containing a thin layer of this conductive polymer composition between laminar electrodes provide high breakdown voltage in combination with very low resistance and are useful for protecting high-current/high voltage battery-powered devices.
