Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of thermistor element, more particularly to a kind of over-current protecting element.
Background technology
Due to positive temperature coefficient (Positive Temperature Coefficient；PTC) the resistance versus temperature change of the conducing composite material of characteristic is with the sharp characteristic of reaction, can as current sensing element material, be widely used at present on over-current protecting element or circuit element.Because the resistance of PTC conducing composite materials at a normal temperature can maintain extremely low value, enable circuit or battery normal operation.But, when circuit or battery generation overcurrent (over-current) or the phenomenon of high temperature (over-temperature) excessively, its resistance value can be improved to a high resistance state (at least 10 moment2More than Ω), and by excessive current reduction, to reach the purpose of protection battery or circuit element.
In general, PTC conducing composite materials are constituted by having crystalline polymer and conductive filler, the conductive filler is dispersed among the polymer.The polymer is generally polyolefin polymers, for example：Polyethylene, and traditional conductive filler is generally carbon black, conductivity ceramics and metal dust etc..
Because general conductivity ceramics filler forms conductive path in a stacked fashion, when the crystalline polymer polymer in the composite is because of overcurrent (over-current) or crosses cooling after high temperature (over-temperature) is heated, produce macromolecule recrystallization phenomenon, the mode for causing ceramic packing to stack is changed, so that conductive path is reduced, the resistance of the conducing composite material is caused when bearing overcurrent (over-current) repeatedly or bearing high temperature (over-temperature) triggering (trip) reaction repeatedly, resistance is difficult to return back to initial value, that is, produce the problem of resistance repeatability ratio (trip jump) is too high.
The content of the invention
It is an object of the invention to provide a kind of over-current protecting element, still there is preferably repeatability after triggering (trip) reaction, to extend the life-span that battery is used.
The present invention provides a kind of over-current protecting element, by the conductivity ceramics filler that specific structure is added in crystalline polymer polymer, the over-current protecting element is had excellent low-resistance value and resistance repeatability.
Effectively to reduce resistance value of the over-current protecting element after triggering (trip) repeatedly, and the volumetric resistivity value of the conducing composite material is maintained to be less than 0.4 Ω-cm, the present invention is using the conductivity ceramics filler with given stack structure.The conductivity ceramics filler of the present invention is the tightly packed crystal of six sides (Hexagon close-packed；HCP) structure, this Close stack mode has more conductive path so that electric conductivity preferably, and can effectively promote the resistance repeatability of material.
The over-current protecting element of one embodiment of the invention includes two tinsels and a ptc layer.Ptc layer is stacked between two tinsel, and its volumetric resistivity value is less than 0.4 Ω-cm.Ptc layer includes (i) crystalline polymer polymer；And (ii) intersperses among the conductivity ceramics filler among the crystalline polymer polymer.Conductivity ceramics filler is six side's close-packed structures, and accounts for the percentage by weight of the ptc layer between 70% to 95%.

The present invention uses the closelypacked conductivity ceramics filler of six sides, after repeatedly being triggered through 300 times, by resistance repeatability ratio (trip jump) R300/Ri controls less than or equal to 25.Wherein Ri is starting resistance, and R300 is the resistance value measured after returning back to room temperature one hour after triggering 300 times.
Because ptc layer has at a fairly low volumetric resistivity value, the area of PTC chips (ptc layer i.e. needed for over-current protecting element of the invention) can be contracted to be less than 50mm2, and remain able to reach the low-resistance purpose of element, more PTC chips may finally be produced from every ptc layer of commensurate's area, making the cost of production reduces.
The over-current protecting element of the present invention; wherein two tinsel by tin cream (solder) through reflow or by spot welding mode can be bonded into an assembly (assembly) with another two metal electrode film, be typically into the element of monaxon (axial-leaded), plug-in type (radial-leaded), terminal type (terminal) or surface adhesion type (surface mount).The over-current protecting element of the present invention; tinsel can be connected in power supply and form a galvanic circle (circuit) (in another embodiment above and below being wherein somebody's turn to do; power supply then can be connected in by two metal electrode film and a galvanic circle is formed); ptc layer is acted under the situation of overcurrent, and reaches the function of protective loop.
