ABSTRACT:
A positive-characteristics thermistor apparatus has an insulating case, positive-characteristics thermistor devices, planar terminals, and spring terminals. Whichever thermistor device has a lower resistance of the two thermistor devices is trimmed to have a higher resistance which is near the resistance of the other thermistor device such that the two thermistor devices have substantially the same resistance (for example, within a difference of .+-.1.OMEGA.). In other words, a part of an electrode of the thermistor device having a lower resistance is removed with a laser beam.
