Patent ID: 7574919

Claim:
A sensor comprising: a main body; a pressure sensor element that measures pressure of a gas located within the main body; and a temperature sensor element that measures temperature of the gas coupled to the main body, the temperature sensor element including a columnar sensor body element and a pair of lead terminals that extend along an axial direction from both ends of the sensor body element; wherein the main body of the sensor is attached to an object of attachment through which gas passes at a mounting position defined by an angle of θ rq degrees with respect to an ideal attachment position of the main body of the sensor; wherein an inclination angle θ pos at which a central axis of the sensor body element is inclined at the mounting position with respect to a position of the central axis of the main body at the ideal attachment position of the sensor is set according to the following equation: (θ rq −θ allow )≦θ pos ≦(θ rq +θ allow ) wherein θ allow represents an allowable angle at which an allowable response speed of the temperature sensor element is obtained.
