Abstract (en)

Electrical devices, especially self-regulating flexible sheet heaters and circuit protection devices, comprise a laminar element (11) of a melt-shaped PTC coductive polymer, and a plurality of electrodes (12, 13, 14) which are positioned that the predominant direction of current flow is parallel to the faces of the laminar element (11). The electrodes (12, 13, 14) are preferably positioned on one face of the laminar element and are applied by a printing process. Preferably the ratio of the average width of the electrodes to the distance between them is at least 0.1:1.
