Abstract
An ESD protection devicehas a ceramic insulating materialfirst and second discharge electrodesandand a discharge-assisting sectionThe first and second discharge electrodesandare disposed somewhere of the ceramic insulating materialThe discharge-assisting sectionis located between the distal end portion of the first discharge electrodeand the distal end portion of the second discharge electrodeThe discharge-assisting sectionis an electrode configured to reduce the discharge starting voltage between the first discharge electrodeand the second discharge electrodeThe discharge-assisting sectionis made from a sintered body containing conductive particles and at least one of semiconductor particles and insulating particles. The first and second discharge electrodes contain at least one of the semiconductor material constituting the semiconductor particles and the insulating material constituting the insulating particles.
