Abstract:
A temperature sensor comprising:a thermistor in the shape of a solid cylinder;a pair of electrode wires embeded in said thermistor in a spaced relation with each other in the direction substantially parallel to the axis of said thermistor, said electrode wires each having an end thereof led out toward an end of said thermistor; anda pair of signal lines arranged in spaced relation with each other in the direction substantially parallel to the axis of said thermistor and each connected to said end of each of said electrode wires for producing a thermistor signal;wherein each electrode wire is overlapped with and coupled to a respective one of the signal lines, and the electrode wires and signal lines are arranged within the thermistor such that, in a plane perpendicular to the thermistor and intersecting the electrode wires and signal lines, a diagonal line connecting the signal lines crosses a diagonal line connecting the electrode wires.
