Abstract
A thermal-type airflow meter comprises an airflow meter body and a measuring part. Both of the frame of a housing which accommodates the electronic circuit, and a sub-passage member which has the heating resistor positioned within a sub-passage, are arranged on a metallic base. Further, the frame, the sub-passage member, the metallic base and the cover are each fixedly attached to at least two respective different members. A connector of the housing, the frame and the sub-passage member are formed in a flat shape to form the measuring module. The measuring module is inserted through an insertion hole to locate the heating resistor within the main air passage, and the fixing flange of the housing is fixedly attached to the airflow meter body.
