Abstract
A connection terminal is on a flange of a thermal flow meter. A terminal connection part has a first and a second bent part. The first bent part is bent from a first direction to a second direction. The second bent part has is bent from the first bent part to a third direction. The first and second bent parts are formed such that when connection pin parts of a plurality of the connection terminals and terminal connection parts of the plurality of connection terminals are projected onto a first imaginary plane, an imaginary line L extending along a first direction passing through the projection areas of each of the terminal connection parts of the plurality of connection terminals passes between the projection areas of the connection pin parts from among the connection pin parts of the plurality of connection terminals, that are positioned on both sides.
