Ni–Mn–Co–Fe–O based ceramic compositions were prepared and their NTC thermistor characteristics were evaluated. The tape casting slurry composition was optimized to get defect free ceramic tapes. Chip thermistors were prepared from these NTC tapes by optimizing the process parameters. The prepared chip thermistors were tested for their thermal and electrical reliability and found to have excellent reliability. Tape casting can be employed as an effective and ideal method for the mass production of Ni–Mn–Co–Fe based miniaturized NTC chip thermistors.
► Developed Ni–Mn–Co–Fe based NTC compositions with excellent NTC characteristics. ► Optimized process conditions for the production of NTC chip thermistors through tape casting route. ► NTC chip thermistors having excellent thermal and electrical reliability were prepared.
