Abstract:
1. A thermistor element comprising: element body incorporating two or more internal electrode layers arranging thermistor layer in-between, a pair of terminal electrodes each connected to the mutually faced internal electrode layers and formed on exterior surface of the element body, and lead terminal connected to the terminal electrode, characterized in that; the thermistor layer comprises oxide expressed by a composition formula Y relationship between “a” and “b” in the composition formula is “a+b=1”, relationship between “c”, “d” and “e” in the composition formula is “c+d+e=1”, “M1” in the composition formula is at least one selected from Co, Sn, Nd, Pr, Ga, and Ni, “a” in the composition formula is 0.5≦“a”≦0.99, “b” in the composition formula is 0.01≦“b”≦0.50, “c” in the composition formula is 0.06≦“c”≦0.64, “d” in the composition formula is 0.01≦“d”≦0.94, and “e” in the composition formula is 0.00≦“e”≦0.35, and the thermistor layer substantially does not include Sr and Mn.
