An electrical component having a base body includes a layer stack of mutually overlapping, electrically conductive electrode layers that are separated from one another by electrically conductive ceramic layers. The electrically conductive ceramic layers are composed of a ceramic whose specific electrical resistance exhibits a negative temperature coefficient. The electrically conductive ceramic layers are produced of ceramic green films that are sintered in common with the electrode layers, and outside electrodes that are electrically conductively connected to the electrode layers are arranged at two opposite outside surfaces of the base body. A method for the manufacture of the component and to the employment of the component is also provided.
A method for manufacturing an electrical component with a predetermined rated resistance proceeding from a precursor component having a bar-shaped base body, outside electrodes arranged at long sides of the bar whose actual resistance measured between the outside electrodes is lower than the rated resistance, and wherein a resistance of longitudinal sections of the precursor component that are equal in length and comprise outside electrodes is of the same size, comprising the following steps:
