Abstract
In a fixing device, a heater holder comes into contact with an end of an insulation sheet and causes the insulation sheet to deform in a process of mounting a thermistor and the insulation sheet in the heater holder. Further, in a state in which mounting of the thermistor and the insulation sheet in the heater holder is completed, an inclined surface releases the end of the insulation sheet from contact with the heater holder.
