Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sulfurization detection resistor includes: a rectangle-shaped insulating substrate; pair of front electrodes formed at both ends facing each other on a surface of the insulating substrate; plurality of sulfurization detection conductors arranged in parallel between the paired front electrodes; plurality of resistors connected between the ends of each of the sulfurization detection conductors and the paired front electrodes; and sulfide gas impermeable protective film that covers all of the resistors and some of the sulfurization detection conductors, wherein each of the sulfurization detection conductors has a sulfurization detection unit exposed from a window hole in the protective film; and by covering the sulfurization detection units with different types of sulfurization rate adjustment layers formed of an acrylic resin, a silicon resin, and the like, timing of disconnection is set so as to vary in response to a cumulative amount of sulfurization in each of the sulfurization detection units.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A sulfurization detection resistor comprising: a rectangle-shaped insulating substrate; a pair of front electrodes formed at both ends facing each other on a main surface of the insulating substrate; a plurality of sulfurization detection conductors arranged in parallel between the paired front electrodes; a plurality of resistors connected between at least one of the paired front electrodes and the sulfurization detection conductors; and a sulfide gas impermeable protective film that covers all of the resistors and some of the sulfurization detection conductors, wherein the sulfurization detection conductors have sulfurization detection units exposed from the protective film; and by selectively covering each of the sulfurization detection units with a sulfurization rate adjustment layer, timing of disconnection is set so as to vary in response to a cumulative amount of sulfurization in each of the sulfurization detection units. 2. The sulfurization detection resistor according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfurization rate adjustment layer is formed of a silicon resin that increases a sulfurization rate of the sulfurization detection unit. 3. The sulfurization detection resistor according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfurization rate adjustment layer is formed of a sulfide gas permeable resin that decreases a sulfurization rate of the sulfurization detection unit. 4. The sulfurization detection resistor according to claim 1 , wherein the protective film has isolation sections interposed between the sulfurization detection units arranged in parallel. 5. The sulfurization detection resistor according to claim 1 , wherein precoat layers formed of a glass material are interposed between the resistors and the protective film; and ends of the precoat layers protrude from the protective film and define the sulfurization detection units. 6. The sulfurization detection resistor according to claim 1 , wherein at least the material compositions or film thicknesses of the sulfurization detection conductors are different from each other.
