Abstract
A temperature sensor eliminates the necessity of removing a filler in order to check the condition of a thermosensitive body, while retaining the position of the thermosensitive body relative to a protective tube. The temperature sensor includes: a sensor element including the thermosensitive body, a protective layer made of glass and surrounding the thermosensitive body, and a lead wire electrically connected to the thermosensitive body; a protector including the protective tube in which the thermosensitive body is housed; and a retainer mechanically retaining a position of the thermosensitive body relative to the protective tube inside the protective tube.
