Temperature sensor

Abstract

A temperature sensor according to the present invention includes a heat-sensitive element having electrode surfaces on an upper surface and a lower surface; a pair of lead terminals electrically connected to the heat-sensitive element; a resin sealing portion that seals the heat-sensitive element and distal end portions of the pair of lead terminals with resin; and a conductive floating terminal that is embedded in the resin sealing portion and is separated from the pair of lead terminals, in which the heat-sensitive element is mounted on the floating terminal in a state where the electrode surface on the lower surface is bonded to the floating terminal with a conductive bonding material, and electrical connection between the floating terminal and one of the pair of lead terminals and electrical connection between the electrode surface on the upper surface with the other of the pair of lead terminals are performed by bonding wires.
