ORGANIC RESISTOR WITH POSITIVE TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small type resistor, having non-decreasing withstand voltage and positive temperature characteristics, which can be used for a large current. SOLUTION: This organic resistor element 7 is composed of an organic resistor layer 5, on which conductive fillers are dispersively mixed into a thermoplastic polymer, and conductive internal electrodes 6a and 6b which are alternately laminated so that the number of layers of the organic resistor layer 5 located between the internal electrodes 6a and 6b becomes two or more layers. External electrodes 8a and 8b are provided on the side face of the resistor element 7.
