Abstract
A terminal in a thermal flow meter connected to a negative terminal of a power source voltage applied externally has a rectangular-shaped shielding plate extending from the terminal. The terminal is connected to ground as a reference potential of a control circuit constructed in a circuit portion via the shielding plate. The shielding plate covers substantially half of the bottom plate of a circuit case and ribbons are inserted keeping a predetermined space by the shielding plate and the bottom plate. Thus, the bottom plate and the shielding plate can pass external E/M noise or the like to the ground side with improved characteristics of E/M interference resistance and reduced manufacturing costs.
