NOVELTY - The protective circuit module (100) has a protection control circuit element which is arranged on a circuit board (110). A positive temperature coefficient device is provided between the protection control circuit element and a first conductive pad. The positive temperature coefficient device is provided with a first conductive plate, a positive temperature coefficient resistance element, and a second conductive plate. The second conductive plate contacts both the circuit board and the positive temperature coefficient resistance element.    USE - Protective circuit module for secondary battery such as lithium ion secondary battery, lithium ion polymer secondary battery, and lithium polymer secondary battery used in battery pack (claimed) for powering mobile telephone, laptop computer, and personal digital assistant.    ADVANTAGE - The protection control circuit element is mounted on the circuit board, so as to prevent overcharge and over-discharge of the secondary battery. The positive temperature coefficient device is resistance welded to the first conductive pad, such that the resistance of the positive temperature coefficient device can be increased and the battery current can be reduced when the secondary battery temperature reaches the threshold value. The resin molding is performed in the state where the protective circuit module is erected in front of the secondary battery, so that the size of the battery pack can be reduced and the capacity of the battery pack can be increased. The protrusions of predetermined thickness are formed on each of the top and bottom of the protective circuit module, so as to correctly position the electrode terminals formed in the protective circuit module in the right center, to prevent the resin formed to the undesired positions of the electrode terminals and to prevent the defects generated in the external appearance of the battery pack.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a battery pack.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a front perspective view of the protective circuit module for the secondary battery.
