However, the method of adjusting the resistance value by extending the terminal electrode does not allow precise adjustment of the resistance value. In other words, since the terminal electrodes are formed by dipping the chip in electrode paste or a similar method, it is difficult to precisely adjust the shape, especially the length of the terminal electrodes, and the resistance value adjustment range is difficult. is also limited. Moreover, the process becomes complicated and the manufacturing cost increases.

[0007] In the structure in which the comb-shaped internal electrodes inside the laminated thermistor body are connected to the terminal electrodes, the sinterability of the internal electrode paste and thermistor powder differs during manufacturing, so the internal electrodes swell and form the terminals. The connection with the electrode becomes unstable, resulting in the problem of poor electrical connection. This causes variations in resistance values. Furthermore, in this structure, a current path also occurs between the internal electrodes, so it is necessary to take this current path into consideration when designing the thermistor, making it difficult to design the thermistor. moreover,
A reaction phase formed along the current path is likely to be formed between the internal electrode and the interface of the thermistor body, and this effect is likely to occur.
