Latest Patents
Mikamato's latest patent focuses on a PTC thermistor and the method for manufacturing it. The invention aims to provide a PTC thermistor that utilizes a conductive polymer with a positive temperature coefficient, ensuring high withstand voltage and reliability. This design prevents electrical connection failures in side electrodes, even under mechanical stress caused by thermal shocks from repeated thermal expansion of the conductive polymer sheet. The PTC thermistor comprises a laminated body made by alternately layering conductive polymer sheets and inner electrodes, with outer electrodes on the tops and bottoms. Additionally, multi-layered side electrodes are positioned at the center of both sides of the laminated body, electrically connecting with the inner and outer electrodes. The manufacturing method involves forming a laminated body by sandwiching a conductive polymer sheet with metal foils and integrating them through heat pressing.
