Abstract

Effects of electroless nickel plating on resistivity-temperature (R-T) characteristics of (Ba1-xPbx)TiO3 thermistor were studied. Comparison experiments showed that not only the permeation of plating solution, but also the reaction of electroless nickel plating influences the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect, and that the two effects are different in nature. It is first proposed in this paper that hydrogen atoms generated in electroless nickel plating may reduce components of PTC ceramics.
