Abstract

An over-current protection device is a hexahedron comprising an upper surface, a lower surface and four lateral surfaces. The over-current protection device comprises a PTC device, a first insulating layer, a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. The PTC device comprises a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and a PTC material layer laminated therebetween. The first conductive layer comprises a first conductive section and a second conductive section separated by at least one trench. The first insulating layer is disposed on the first conductive layer. The first electrode layer is disposed on the first insulating layer and electrically coupled to the first conductive section. The second electrode layer is disposed on the first insulating layer and electrically coupled to the second conductive section. The trench comprises a primary portion not parallel to a longitudinal direction of the first and second electrode layers.
