Intake air temperature sensor and thermal airflow meter including the same

摘要

An intake air temperature sensor capable of detecting an intake air temperature highly accurately and at high speed. The intake air temperature sensor of the present invention includes: a secondary passage 7 taking in an intake airflow; a flow rate detecting element 13 disposed in the secondary passage 7; an intake air temperature detecting element 4 provided outside the secondary passage; a temperature sensor 9 detecting a temperature of a fitting section of the intake air temperature detecting element 4; a circuit board 11 disposed in a casing; and an integrated circuit 10 applying a correction process to an output of the intake air temperature detecting element 4 on the basis of signals output from the temperature sensor 9 and a flow rate detecting element 13.
