[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The ultra-thin PTC thermistor provided by the utility model comprises: a plurality of splicing units 1, and two adjacent splicing units 1 are fixedly connected by a T-shaped adhesive member 2.

[0036] When in use, the number of splicing units 1 is reasonably set according to the area actually required to be heated, and then a plurality of splicing units 1 are connected to a surface area of ​​a predetermined shape and size by a T-shaped adhesive 2, thereby ensuring that it can adapt to various situations.

[0037] Each of the splicing units 1 includes a carrier plate 102 , a PTC thermistor 104 , and an insulating spacer 106 .

[0038] A 'T' groove 103 is formed at the top of the carrier 102, and a transverse gap 1010 and a longitudinal gap 109 are formed at the bottom of the carrier 102.

The PTC thermistor 104 is fixed on the inner side of the 'T' groove 103, and the second electrode plate of the PTC thermistor 104 is electrically connected to the carrier 102.

[0039] Generally, the PTC thermistor 104 includes an upper aluminum plate, a lower aluminum plate, and a ceramic medium located between the upper aluminum plate and the lower aluminum plate. The upper aluminum plate and the lower aluminum plate serve as two poles of the PTC thermistor 104 , wherein the upper aluminum plate directly contacts the inner bottom of the carrier 102 and is electrically connected to the carrier 102 .

[0040] The insulating spacer 106 is fixedly connected to the top of the carrier 102, and the insulating spacer 106 covers the PTC thermistor 104, and a first pole 105 is arranged on the top of the PTC thermistor 104, and a through hole is opened at the top of the insulating spacer 106 and at a position corresponding to the first pole 105, and the first pole 105 exposed from the through hole is convenient for wiring.

[0041] In one embodiment, a heat conducting plate 101 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the carrier 102, and thermally conductive silicone is filled between the heat conducting plate 101 and the bottom of the carrier 102. The heat conducting plate 101 can be made of a metal plate. The thermally conductive silicone makes the heat conducting plate 101 and the bottom of the carrier 102 contact more closely, especially at the positions corresponding to the horizontal gap 1010 and the vertical gap 109, so that better thermal conductivity can be formed between the heat conducting plate 101 and the carrier 102.

As long as the second extreme pole 108 is fixedly connected to the carrier plate 102 of one of the splicing units 1, all the carrier plates 102 in the ultra-thin PTC thermistor can be electrically connected to the second extreme pole 108.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first poles 105 on the PTC thermistors 104 of all the splicing units 1 are connected in parallel via a wiring harness 107 , and the wiring harness 107 is a joint after the first poles 105 of the PTC thermistors 104 of all the splicing units 1 are connected in parallel.

[0044] In one embodiment, the horizontal portion of the T-shaped adhesive 2 is located at the top of the splicing unit 1, and the vertical portion of the T-shaped adhesive 2 is located between two adjacent splicing units 1, so that neither the vertical portion nor the horizontal portion of the T-shaped adhesive 2 affects the flexible relative rotation (slight movement) between the two adjacent splicing units 1.

[0045] In one embodiment, a metal strip 1011 is disposed inside the transverse gap 1010 or the longitudinal gap 109 , and the cross section of the metal strip 1011 is circular.
