Abstract
A sensor () includes a temperature sensitive element (); a first tubular member (); a tubular rib (); a second tubular member (); and a tubular mounting member () that surrounds the rib through the second tubular member, is rotatable with respect to the rib, and has a threaded portion (). The rib includes a main body () and a protruding portion (). A flat portion (L) is formed on a rearward-facing surface of the protruding portion, and an inclined surface () is formed radially outward of the flat portion. A forward-facing surface () of the mounting member is in line contact with the inclined surface at a prescribed contact position (P), and an intersection (R) of the inclined surface and a perpendicular (M) thereto from a radially innermost point (Q) of a forward-facing surface () of the protruding portion is located radially inward of the contact position.
