Abstract:
1. A thermistor device comprising a device main body including internal electrode layers to sandwich a thermistor layer, a pair of terminal electrodes formed on the outer surface of said device main body and connected to said mutually facing internal electrode layers respectively, and lead terminals connected to said terminal electrodes respectively, wherein: said device main body is a rectangular parallelepiped having mutually perpendicular first side, second side and third side; when a length of said first side is α, a length of said second side is β and a length of said third side is γ, each of said side length α, β and γ satisfies a relation of α≧β>γ; said terminal electrodes are respectively formed on two plane surfaces including said first side and second side; said lead terminals are connected to said terminal electrodes respectively to sandwich a length direction of the third side of said device main body therebetween; and a position to connect said lead terminal to said terminal electrode is out of alignment with a position to connect said internal electrode layer to said terminal electrode.
