    摘要: An integrated over-current protection device includes a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) component, a first conductive unit, a second conductive unit, a first conductive via, and a second conductive via. The PTC component includes a first PTC body, and has opposing first and second surfaces. The first conductive unit is disposed on the first surface, and includes a first electrode and a first conductive pad electrically insulated from the first electrode. The second conductive unit is disposed on the second surface, and includes a second electrode and a second conductive pad electrically insulated from the second electrode. The first conductive via extends through the first conductive unit and the PTC component to electrically connect the first electrode to the second conductive pad. The second conductive via extends through the second conductive unit and the PTC component to electrically connect the second electrode to the first conductive pad.

    摘要: A PTC heating element and an electric heating device containing such a PTC heating element are disclosed. The PTC heating element comprises two insulating layers with a metallic coating provided on one side and a PTC element arranged therebetween which is provided on oppositely disposed main side surfaces with a respective metallization which is electrically conductively connected to the coating of one of the insulating layers. The metallization provided on one of the main side surfaces is assigned only to one potential for energizing the PTC element. The metallization provided on the other main side surface is assigned to only the other potential for energizing the PTC element. The metallization of the one main side surface of the PTC element and the metallization of the other main side surface of the PTC element are formed in such a way that the current path (P) through the PTC element is extended relative to the thickness (D) of the PTC element.
