Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the production of PTC thermistors.
- a thermistor aimed at sensing temperature alone includes a thermistor element sealed in glass or resin so as to keep it from being affected by other factors such as humidity or gas.
- NTC thermistors there are available glass-sealed type thermistors which are inexpensive, easy to mass-produce and have stabilized properties, in addition to resin-sealed type disc-form thermistors.
- PTC thermistors glass-sealed type PTC thermistors are still not produced, and instead use is made of resin-sealed disc-form PTC thermistors or PTC thermistors in which metals are mechanically pressed onto electrodes.
- NTC thermistors are prepared by glass sealing in vacuum or a reducing atmosphere such as N 2 or Ar gas so as to prevent Dumet wires or heaters from being oxidized.
- a reducing atmosphere such as N 2 or Ar gas
- a main object of the present invention is to provide inexpensive glass-sealed type PTC thermistors which show a great change in resistance, especially a markedly increased change in resistance at switching temperatures, and which have stabilized properties .
- a process for the production of PTC thermistors by sealing a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) semiconductor ceramic material in glass in the presence of air, oxygen or an air/oxygen mixture (wherein 0% ⁇ the volume of air > 100%).
- PTC positive temperature coefficient
- a process for the production of PTC thermistors by sealing a positive temperature coefficient semiconductor ceramic material in low-melting glass having a softening point of no higher than 560°C.
- a process for the production of PTC thermistors by sealing a positive temperature coefficient semiconductor ceramic material in low-melting glass having a softening point of no higher than 560°C in the presence of air, oxygen or an air/oxygen mixture (wherein 0% ⁇ the volume of air> 100%).
- the semiconductor ceramic material having a positive temperature coefficient used in the present invention there are mentioned those obtained by adding to barium titanate base compositions any one of trivalent antimony, trivalent bismuth, pentavalent tantalum, pentavalent niobium or a rare earth metal.
- the glass used has a softening point of 450°C-560°C inclusive, and includes those glasses based on B 2 O 3 -PbO-ZnO, B 2 O 3 -PbO-SiO 2 , B 2 O 3 -PbO-Ti 2 O, B 2 O 3 -PbO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -ZnO, B 2 O 3 -PbO-V 2 O 5 , SiO 2 -PbO-K 2 O, SiO 2 -PbO-Na 2 O and SiO 2 -PbO-K 2 O-Na 2 O.
- Preference is given to a SiO 2 -PbO-K 2 O base glass, since this glass shows desirous thermal expansion and wettability with respect to lead wires (Dumet wires, viz., Fe-Ni alloy wires plated with Cu).
- a semiconductor barium titanate ceramic material 1 is first sliced to any suitable thickness having regard to the length of a glass tube 4 in which the finished thermistor element is to be sealed.
- Silver electrodes 2 and 2 are applied to both sides of the thus obtained element, and deposited thereto for 20 minutes at 600°C.
- Figure l(a) shows a section of the electrode-provided element.
- the element is then cut to any length corresponding to the diameter of the glass tube 4.
- the element is placed in the tube 4 of a glass having a softening point of no higher than 560°C, into both ends of which Dumet wires 3 and 3 are inserted. Finally, the glass tube 4 is sealed by means of a carbon heater jig.
- the sealing temperature is determined depending upon the softening point of the glass used, and is generally higher than the softening point of the glass used by 50°C or more.
- NTC glass sealed thermistors a glass having a softening point exceeding 560 0 C is used and sealing is carried out at a temperature exceeding 610°C. If sealing of a PTC thermistor is carried out under such conditions, there is a marked drop in the properties of the resulting PTC thermistor. According to the present invention, however, it is possible to obtain stable PTC thermistors whose properties drop only slightly by sealing the thermistor elements in a low-melting glass having a softening point of no higher than 560°C.
- Figure 2 shows the results of an experiment run wherein PTC thermistor elements having a Curie point of 120°C were sealed in glasses in the art.
- Figure 3 is a characteristic diagram of a PTC thermistor sealed in glass in various atmospheres.
- the PTC thermistor used had a Curie point of 120°C, and sealing was carried out at 610°C.
- Figure 4 is a graphical view showing the relation between the specific resistance and the temperature of PTC thermistors obtained by sealing a PTC thermistor element having a Curie point of 120 0 C in glass in air and/or oxygen gas. The results of Figure 4 are numerically given in Table 3.
- the present invention makes it possible to inexpensively prepare PTC thermistors having excellent properties, and is therefor of industrially high value.
