An electrically conductive sintered ceramics of the present invention comprises, as the main ingredients thereof, (a) silicon carbide, (b) an inorganic compound which exhibits a positive resistance-temperature coefficient, and preferably (c) a sintering assistant. The electrically conductive sintered ceramics obtained exhibits a positive resistance-temperature coefficient as a whole. A ceramic heater of the invention makes use of the electrically conductive sintered ceramics in an electrically conductive portion thereof. A sintered product which exhibits a positive resistance-temperature coefficient helps to prevent the occurrence of thermal runaway or thermal destruction.
