Temperature sensor and rotary electric machine

A temperature sensor for detecting a temperature of a coil provided in a stator of a rotary electric machine, the temperature sensor comprising:

• a sensor element including a thermosensitive body, an electric wire electrically connected to the thermosensitive body, and a covering body made of a resin material having elasticity and covering a part of the electric wire and the thermosensitive body;
• and
• a bracket including a rotation axis and configured to hold the covering body in a cantilever manner, wherein
• the bracket includes a predetermined rotation axis, and
• the covering body is configured to be pressable against the coil by rotation operation of the bracket in a predetermined direction, wherein
• the bracket is fixed to a fixation object by fastening of a screw member and the fixation object, and
• the covering body is configured to be pressable against the coil by rotation operation of the bracket with rotation for the fastening of the screw member to the fixation object.

• and
• a bracket including a rotation axis and configured to hold the covering body in a cantilever manner, wherein
• the covering body includes a first portion relatively short in distance from the rotation axis and held by the bracket, and a second portion relatively long in distance from the rotation axis and covering the thermosensitive body, and
• the second portion is outside a virtual circle passing through the first portion and having the rotation axis as a center.
