Abstract

Abstract A voltage dependent resistor in a bulk type comprising a sintered body consisting essentially of, as a major part, zinc oxide (ZnO) and as an additive, 0.05 to 20.0 mole percent of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and 0.05 to 10.0 mole percent, in total, of at least one member selected from the group consisting of bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), cobalt oxide (CoO), manganese oxide (MnO), barium oxide (BaO), strontium oxide (SrO), and lead oxide (PbO), and electrodes in contact with the body.
