Voltage-nonlinear resistive ceramics and electronic components

Abstract

To provide voltage nonlinear resistive ceramics and electronic components with a small capacitance change rate and excellent ESD resistance after high-temperature loading. [Solution] A voltage-nonlinear resistive ceramic containing a plurality of main phase particles 8α, 8β, with zinc oxide as the main component, wherein at least one of the main phase particles contains an intragranular segregate 8α1 internally, and the intragranular segregate has an oxide containing Sn. The intragranular segregate contains zinc oxide and tin oxide, and the weight ratio of tin oxide to zinc oxide in the intragranular segregate is 0.9% to 3.1% in terms of ZnO and SnO2.
