Claim 0:
1. A thermistor, having a ceramic main body, which contains a ceramic material as the main constituent, and having at least two outer contacts, wherein
the ceramic main body has at least one electrically insulating layer,
the electrically insulating layer is arranged within the ceramic main body,
the electrically insulating layer contains a main component which has a composition different from the ceramic material,
the electrically insulating layer is arranged within the ceramic main body in such a way that a conducting cross-sectional area of an active volume region of the ceramic main body is reduced, and
the electrically insulating layer is arranged such that the electrically insulating layer is oriented perpendicular to a direction of flow of electrical current from one of the at least two outer contacts to another of the at least two outer contacts.
