PURPOSE:To securely join a polymer PTC element body and an electrode member by joining said body and said member using a conductive bonding member. CONSTITUTION:In a conductive polymer composition (polymer PTC element) having a positive resistance temperature characteristic a conductive bonding member 3c is intervened between an element body 2 and an electrode member 3. The conductive bonding member 3c includes epoxy resin or polyimide resin as a matrix, and including Au, Ag, Ni, and C as a filler. The electrode member 3 is applied on the upper and lower surfaces of the element body 2 by brushing or spraying coating and the like, and is rendered to thermocompression bonding by a heated press to form an electrode. Hereby, a polymer PTC element can be yielded where the element body and the electrode i are securely bonded.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the first electrode method, the disadvantage is that the resistance of the resistive element as a whole becomes high compared to the specific resistance of the element body, and in the case of the second method, In this case, the adhesion between the metal plate as an electrode and the element body deteriorates, and as a result, the resistance value increases significantly when repeated tests are performed.
Furthermore, it has been pointed out that a drawback is that the metal plate may peel off even under slight thermal stress. Further, even in the third method, there is a problem that thermal peeling occurs even if electrodes are formed by the suba-shittering method on an untreated element body. In addition, in cases where a metal plate is bonded to an element body, a method is also used in which the bonding surface of either the metal plate or the weight element body is previously formed into a rough surface to improve adhesion. However, even with this method, there were still some things that were difficult to ensure. Therefore, the implementation of these improvement measures is strongly desired.
