Metal oxide sintered compact for a thermistor, a manufacturing method of the thermistor element and a thermistor temperature sensor, as well as metal oxide sintered body for thermistor

摘要

Disclosed is a sintered metal oxide used for thermistors, which includes a complex oxide represented by the following general formula: La1-yAy(Cr1-xMnx)O3 (with the proviso that A represents at least either one of Ca or Sr, and x and y satisfy 0.0@x@1.0 and 0.0y@0.7). Also disclosed is a thermistor element (3) that includes a sintered metal oxide for thermistors (2) and at least a pair of lead wires (1) each having an end affixed to the sintered metal oxide for thermistors (2).
