Provided are a temperature sensor that performs high-speed sensing, whose cost is low, and whose layout is freely designed, the temperature sensor eliminating the need for complicated operations, and a method for manufacturing the temperature sensor. In a temperature sensor 1, terminal portions 9 of a connector portion 7 are exposed to an outside of a pipe section 2, a connector-side embedded portion 8 of the connector portion 7 is embedded in an embedding portion 4 of a side wall portion 3, an exposed portion 12 of a housing portion 11 is disposed in the pipe section 2, and an embedded base 13 of the housing portion 11 is embedded in the embedding portion 4. The housing portion 11 is made of a metal.
A temperature sensor comprising:
A method for manufacturing a temperature sensor, the method comprising insert-molding, together with a pipe section made of a resin, the pipe section in which a fluid whose temperature is to be measured flows, a sensor section including a connector portion made of a resin, the connector portion which is pre-molded from the resin, the connector portion which has a terminal portion therein and a housing portion made of a metal, the housing portion covering a temperature sensing element connected to the terminal portion, the housing portion connected to the connector portion, in a state in which the pre-molded connector portion is exposed to an outside of the pipe section and in which the housing portion projects into the pipe section.
