Abstract:
A method for attaching and insulating at least one connection area of one or both of an elongated heating resistor having two ends and an elongated temperature sensing resistor having two ends on a carrier plate of a sensor arrangement for a film type anemometer, comprising:(a) inserting one or both of (i) the ends of the elongated heating resistor and (ii) the ends of the elongated temperature sensing resistor in a respective recess on said carrier plate as a securing element, said recess having a substantially U-shaped cross-section, and electrically connecting at least one or both of (i) the elongated heating resistor and (ii) the elongated temperature sensing resistor at contact fields with feed wires at junction points;(b) applying a bonding agent in an area of the junction points, such that the bonding agent flows by capillary action along the feed wires which are led in grooves in said carrier plate in the direction of a junction end of one or both of (i) the elongated heating resistor and (ii) the elongated temperature sensing resistor, thereby forming a seal by said bonding agent and forming a mechanically stable connection; and(c) applying said bonding agent in an area of contact-free ends of one or both of (i) the elongated heating resistor and (ii) the elongated temperature sensing resistor, the bonding agent being fed through a depression in the recess serving as a securing element, said bonding agent, starting from the depression, flowing via grooves in the carrier plate to the area of the contact-free ends of (i) the elongated heating resistor and (ii) the elongated temperature sensing resistor, to thereby form a mechanically stable connection of one or both of (i) the elongated heating resistor and (ii) the elongated temperature sensing resistor.
