An over-current protection device comprises a PTC device, first and second electrodes, a first welding metal plate and a second welding metal plate. The PTC device comprises a first conductive layer, at second conductive layer and a PTC polymeric material layer laminated therebetween. The first electrode electrically connects to the first conductive layer. The second electrode electrically connects to the second conductive layer and is separated from the first electrode. The first welding metal plate is formed on an upper surface of the device and connects to the first electrode. The second welding metal plate is formed on the upper surface or a lower surface of the device and connects to the second electrode. The first and second welding metal plates are placed at two opposite ends of the strip-like structure, and each of them has a thickness sufficient to withstand spot-welding without significant resultant damage to the PTC device.

Over-current protection device

An over-current protection device adapted to be soldered onto a circuit board comprises a PTC material layer, a first electrode foil, a second electrode foil, a bonding section and a metal connecting member. The PTC material layer has opposite first and second surfaces. The first electrode foil is in physical contact with the first surface, and the second electrode foil electrically connects to the second surface. Both the second electrode foil and the bonding section are disposed on bottom of the device, and the bonding section is separated from the second electrode foil. The metal connecting member is disposed on the lateral surface of the device. The second electrode foil is adapted to be soldered onto an electrode section of the circuit board. The bonding section and the metal connecting member connect to corresponding joint section of the circuit board.
