Temperature sensor

摘要

A temperature sensor comprising: a housing; a thermo-sensitive element housed in the housing for outputting electric characteristics varying with a temperature, as an electric signal; and a pair of lead wires connected at their one-side ends with the thermo-sensitive element for extracting the electric signal from the thermo-sensitive element to an outside of the housing, wherein at least one of the lead wires is made of a mixed twisted wire including: first electric wires made of a first conductor containing copper; and second electric wires made of a second conductor having a higher bending resistance and a tensile strength than those of the first conductor. <IMAGE>
