Abstract

The temperature sensor includes a temperature sensing element, a pair of element electrode wires, and a pair of terminals. An overlapping wire portion of each of the element electrode wires is connected to the terminal in such a manner as to overlap the terminal in an overlapping direction. A fillet portion is disposed on a side surface of the overlapping wire portion. The fillet portion has a pair of fillet pieces formed in such a manner as to crawl up from a specific main surface that is a main surface at the overlapping wire portion side in the terminal. In a cross section of the temperature sensor orthogonal to a sensor axis direction and passing through the fillet portion, the maximum length in a width direction of the fillet portion is defined as a fillet maximum width A, and a length in a width direction between a pair of boundary portions between the pair of fillet pieces and the specific main surface is defined as a boundary width B. The temperature sensor has, at least partly in the sensor axis direction, a specific cross section satisfying B≤A, as a cross section of the temperature sensor orthogonal to the sensor axis direction and passing through the fillet portion.
