Benefits of technology

[0007] The present invention was made in consideration of the above-described circumstances. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a laminated varistor having excellent radiation capability, a mounting structure of being a laminated varistor, and a varistor module.
[0013] According to the present invention, a laminated varistor having excellent radiation capability, a mounting structure of laminated varistor, and a varistor module can be provided.

Problems solved by technology

If there are variations in particle diameters of the varistor layer, a current passes locally through a portion including smaller number of grain boundaries so as to generate heat, the varistor layer is locally broken due to the heat generation, and the original capability is deteriorated.

Abstract

A laminated varistor having excellent radiation capability is provided. A heat conductor portion is disposed on the top surface of a rectangular parallelepiped laminated chip including a plurality of first conductor layers and a plurality of second conductor layers disposed alternately in a lateral direction with varistor layers therebetween, and the heat conductor portion is connected to a top end of each second conductor layer. Therefore, when the heat from an exothermic device, e.g., an IC, disposed in the vicinity is transferred to each of the first conductor layers and the second conductor layers via a first electrode portion and a second electrode portion or when heat generation occurs as a current passes through the varistor layers, the heat is directly and highly efficiently transferred from each second conductor layer to the heat conductor portion, and is effectively released to the outside from the heat conductor portion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a laminated varistor provided with a plurality of conductor layers (internal electrodes) in a laminated chip, a mounting structure of laminated varistor constructed by mounting the laminated varistor on a substrate, and a varistor module constructed by disposing a plurality of laminated varistors on a conductor sheet. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] In the laminated varistor, a plurality of internal electrodes are disposed oppositely with varistor layers therebetween in a rectangular parallelepiped chip (refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2003-68508). The plurality of internal electrodes have a rectangular planar shape, and ends of individual internal electrodes in a length direction are alternately led to one surface and the other surface of the chip in a length direction. The ends of a part of internal electrodes led to the one surface a...
