ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to novel electrical devices which are useful for example as heaters and temperature sensors, and which comprise at least two electrodes, at least one PTC element, at least one relatively constant wattage element, and at least one current-directing element which directs the current, when the device is first connected to a source of electrical power, so that the effective initial resistance of the device is greater than it would be in the absence of said element. Thus the invention provides a solution to the problem of current inrush in application of PTC devices in which substantial current passes through the device at operating temperatures. The invention also includes the use of the novel devices in application in which current inrush is not a problem.
