Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sensor and method of manufacturing the same. A plurality of conductors ( 33 ) constituting an electricity conduction wire ( 37 ) are fused and joined for unification by a first resistance welding operation. Subsequently, a terminal wire ( 20 ) and the electricity conduction wire ( 37 ) are caused to overlap in the axial direction and connected by a second resistance welding operation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a sensor comprising: a temperature sensor element having a temperature-sensing portion whose electrical characteristic changes with a change in an atmosphere, and a terminal wire extending from the temperature-sensing portion in an axial direction; and an electricity conduction wire composed of a plurality of stranded conductors, extending in the axial direction, and conveying an electric signal from the temperature sensor…
