Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical component with a base body, which comprises a ceramic material and has at least two contact layers on the surface.
- varistors Components of the type mentioned at the outset are known which are used as varistors.
- the basic body of these components often has a mixture of different metal oxides, for example based on zinc oxide.
- the nonlinear voltage-dependent change in resistance of varistors is used to protect an electrical circuit from overvoltage.
- the resistance value of varistors decreases with increasing voltage.
- a varistor fuse element for protecting electrical circuits from overvoltages and overtemperature is known from the publication DE 331 85 88. It consists of a mechanical construction in which a low-melting solder is applied to the varistor, which fixes a resilient power supply line. If overvoltages occur and the varistor overheats, the solder melts, the spring construction then producing an irreversible, low-resistance short-circuit bridging with a second power supply.
- the disadvantages of this mechanical construction are are that it is very complex to implement and the short-circuit bridging is irreversible, so that the component must be replaced after the fuse has tripped.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a simple thermal fuse for electro-ceramic components which avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
- the invention describes a ceramic base body on which at least two electrically conductive contact layers are attached.
- the ceramic base body is electrically conductively connected to a second material, this material generally being applied to the surface of the ceramic base body in order not to influence its electrical characteristic as much as possible.
- the second material has a high ohmic resistance in the intended operating temperature range of the electrical component, its specific electrical resistance decreasing with increasing temperature. In normal operation, in which the operating voltage is a predetermined permissible
- the second material is usually high-resistance in normal operation and therefore does not conduct the current.
- the ceramic base body heats up considerably as a result of the increasing power loss, so that the second material located on the surface of the ceramic body is also warmed up and consequently becomes low-resistance.
- a second power line path is set up when the operating temperature range is exceeded, which triggers a short-circuit bridging, for example, by overturning the edge.
- the second To connect the material in an electrically conductive manner to an external fuse that is triggered in the event of a current flow. This prevents damage to the component and eliminates the risk of fire due to overheating.
- the second current path runs parallel to the first current path, so that the component according to the invention realizes a parallel connection between the first and the second current path.
- the thermal fuse can already be implemented in the electrical component in a simple manner, without the need for complex mechanical spring structures. Furthermore, the short-circuit bridging is usually reversible. In the event of a short circuit, the electro-ceramic component can generally be used again after cooling, while the component has to be replaced for the mechanical fuses.
- the base body can contain, for example, a varistor ceramic based on zinc oxide.
- the second material is advantageously a thermistor, which consists of ceramics of the spinel type with the general formula AB2O4, where A is divalent metals and B is trivalent or tetravalent metals, for example ZnMn2Ü.
- the A and B positions can advantageously be filled with the elements magnesium, manganese, selenium, cobalt, nickel, zinc, aluminum or iron. This has the advantage that the base body and the second material can be sintered together, which greatly simplifies the manufacture of the electrical component.
- a perovskite ceramic of the following general formula as a thermistor for the second material:
- the divalent metal M 11 is either strontium or Barium and the trivalent metal M- 1 ⁇ 1 - is a rare earth element, where: 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 0.85; 0 ⁇ y ⁇ (lx) / 2 and x + y ⁇ 1.
- the second material and the contact layers can also be connected in an electrically conductive manner, so that in the event of an overvoltage and the resulting overheating of the component, a direct current flow between the two contact layers can be possible.
- Figure 1 shows a disk varistor with the contact surfaces and the second material applied.
- FIG. 2 shows a multilayer varistor with electrode strips.
- FIG. 3 shows a varistor in a multi-layer design with interdigitated electrode strips.
- FIG. 4 shows in a diagram a comparison of electrical characteristics of conventional and conventional varistors.
- FIG. 5 shows a circuit in which a varistor according to the invention is connected in parallel with a load to be protected.
- a varistor disk 1 can be seen as the component according to the invention, which is provided with a thermistor 15 on both end faces.
- the lateral surfaces are each provided with the contact layers 5 and 10, it being possible for the contact layers and the thermistor to be connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner. It is also possible that the contact layers only contact the varistor and not the thermistor, so that a so-called free edge is formed between the two.
- Electrode strips 20 in the varistor base body 1 contact the possibly multilayered contact layers 5 and 10. Electrode bundles 30 and 35 are formed, each contacting a contact surface 5 or 10. The contact areas allow surface mounting (SMD capability) of the component.
- the second material is applied as a thermistor 15 to the Varistorgroundk ⁇ rper. This multilayer design reduces the internal resistance of the varistor compared to a single-layer design as shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 2 An alternative embodiment of the component shown in FIG. 2 can be seen in FIG. In this case, the electrodes of the different electrode bundles intermesh like a comb.
- FIG. 4 shows the I / U varistor characteristic curves of a conventional varistor 40 at 25 ° C. and 40A at 150 ° C. and of a varistor 45 according to the invention (25 ° C.) and 45A (150 ° C.) in a double logarithmic representation.
- the conventional varistor consists of a varistor disk which contains a varistor ceramic based on zinc oxide and has two contact layers on the surface.
- the second thermally conductive material hardly influences the characteristic curve of the base body. If the permissible operating temperature range is exceeded, for example at 150 to 200 ° C., the varistor characteristics of the conventional varistor 40A and the varistor 45A according to the invention deviate greatly from one another. This is due to the fact that, due to the now low-resistance current conduction path, significantly more current flows in the varistor according to the invention than in the conventional varistor. This has the consequence that in the varistor according to the invention there is a voltage drop in comparison to the conventional varistor at a given current intensity as a result of the short circuit. This can be seen particularly clearly at 1 ⁇ A current. In this case, a voltage of 2.4 V was measured on the varistor according to the invention compared to 21.6 V for a conventional varistor.
- FIG. 5 shows an exemplary circuit in which a varistor according to the invention is connected in parallel with a load (consumer) 50 to be protected.
- the basic body 1 of the varistor based on ZnO is connected to the electrical lines of the circuit via the first and second contact layers 5, 10.
- the second material 15 in the form of a thermistor on the basis of ZnMn2Ü4, which is connected directly to the two contact layers in an electrically conductive manner, is located on the lateral surfaces of the ceramic base body.
- a fuse 55 is connected in series with the parallel arrangement of load and varistor. The entire circuit is supplied with current by a voltage source 60 (direct or alternating voltage).
