The structural and electrical properties of NiMn2O4 and Ni0.5CoxMn2.5-xO4 (where x = 0.5, 0.8 and 1.1) NTC thermistors have been investigated. The samples, prepared by conventional ceramic processing techniques, were calcinated at 900°C for 2 h and then sintered at 1100°C and 1200°C for 5 h. The cubic spinel phase was observed by XRD analysis in the NiMn2O4 and Ni0.5Co0.8Mn1.7O4 samples sintered at 1100°C for 5 h. The sintering at 1200°C resulted in much denser microstructures with a larger grain size. The room-temperature electrical resistivity (r25) and material constant (B) value of the NiMn2O4 sample sintered at 1100°C were 7710 W cm and 3930 K, respectively. The electrical resistivity of the samples decreased significantly with the addition of Co3O4. The B25/85 values of the Ni0.5CoxMn2.5-xO4 (where x = 0.5, 0.8 and 1.1) samples sintered at 1100°C were found to be 3820 K, 3525 K and 3270 K, respectively. Keywords: cobalt oxide, electrical properties, microstructure, NTC thermistor Preiskovana je bila zgradba in elektri~ne lastnosti NiMn2O4 in Ni0.5CoxMn2.5-xO4 (kjer je x = 0,5, 0,8 in 1,1) NTC termistorjev. Vzorci, pripravljeni po obi~ajni tehniki priprave keramike, so bil kalcinirani 2 h na 900°C in potem 5 h sintrani na 1100°C in 1200°C. Kubi~na {pinelna faza je bila opa`ena pri XRD-analizi, v vzorcih NiMn2O4 in Ni0.5Co0.8Mn1.7O4, sintranih 5 h na 1100°C. Sintranje na 1200°C je povzro~ilo mnogo bolj gosto mikrostrukturo z ve~jimi zrni. Vrednosti za elektri~no upornost pri sobni temperaturi (r25) in materialne konstante (B) vzorca NiMn2O4, sintranega na 1100°C, sta bili 7710 W cm in 3930 K. Elektri~na upornost vzorcev se je ob~utno zmanj{ala po dodatku Co3O4. Vrednosti B25/85 pri vzorcih Ni0.5CoxMn2.5-xO4 (kjer je bil x = 0,5, 0,8 in 1,1) sintranih na 1100°C so bile: 3820 K, 3525 K in 3270 K.
