Temperature sensor

Abstract

A temperature sensor includes a temperature measuring element, an accommodating body in which the temperature measuring element is embedded and accommodated, and a housing having a storage space in which the accommodating body is stored. The housing includes a first housing including a concave portion therein that defines the storage space and having outside a temperature measuring surface that comes into contact with an object to be measured, a second housing assembled to the first housing and closing an opening of the concave portion, and a filler with which the storage space is filled and a gap between the accommodating body and the first housing is filled. A material constituting the second housing has heat transfer property lower than that of a material constituting the filler.
