Sensor and terminal member

A sensor comprising:

• a plate-like detection element extending along an axial direction and having a first main surface and a second main surface which face opposite each other and constitute a portion of a surface of the detection element, a first side surface and a second side surface which face opposite each other, extend along the axial direction, and constitute a portion of the surface of the detection element, and a plurality of electrode terminals disposed on at least one of the first and second main surfaces;
• a plurality of terminal members provided in correspondence with the plurality of electrode terminals and electrically connected to the corresponding electrode terminals, each of the terminal members comprising an elongated frame body portion extending along the axial direction, an element contact portion in elastic contact with the corresponding electrode terminal, and a folded portion connecting the frame body portion and the element contact portion, the folded portion connecting the frame body portion and the element contact portion forming an acute angle;
• and
• a separator surrounding the element contact portions and that portion of the detection element at which the plurality of electrode terminals are disposed,
• wherein, with a direction in which the first main surface and the second main surface face opposite each other being defined as a thickness direction of the detection element, and a direction in which the first side surface and the second side surface face opposite each other being defined as a width direction of the detection element,
• two or more of the plurality of electrode terminals are disposed along the width direction,
• the element contact portion of each of the plurality of terminal members has a contact portion in contact with the corresponding electrode terminal, and a turning portion which turns inward with respect to the width direction between the folded portion and the contact portion, and
• in those two of the plurality of terminal members which are adjacent to each other along the width direction, a distance along the width direction between the contact portions is smaller than a distance along the width direction between the frame body portions.
