Abstract
A thermistor sintered body that can control a B constant at 1000° C. to the same level as that of a conventional wide range type. The thermistor sintered body according to the present invention has a composite structure that includes a Y2O3 phase and a Y(Cr, Mn)O3 phase or a YMnO3 phase. In the thermistor sintered body according to one aspect of the present invention, a chemical composition of Cr, Mn, Ca and Y excluding oxygen is Cr: 3 to 9 mol %, Mn: 5 to 15 mol %, Ca: 1 to 8 mol % (where Cr/Mn<1.0), and the balance being unavoidable impurities and Y. In the thermistor sintered body, the B constant (B(0/1000)) determined by the following Expression (1) is 2400 K or lower; B=(ln Rm−ln Rn)/(1/Tm−1/Tn) . . . (1). Rm: resistance value at 0° C., Rn: resistance value at 1000° C., Tm: 0° C., and Tn: 1000° C.
