Abstract

An oxygen sensor element that can achieve electric power saving without losing sensor characteristics has a structure in which an outer surface of a ceramic sintered body as a sensing layer made of a composition LnBa2Cu3O7−δ (Ln denotes rare earth element) is covered with heat insulating layers. A heat insulating material having a composition Ln2BaCuO5 is used for the heat insulating layers, and that composition Ln2BaCuO5 is added with 20 mol % of LnBa2Cu3O7−δ. This allows a sintering behavior of the heat insulating layers to come close to a sintering behavior of the sensing layer, and can thus prevent the occurrence of separation of the layers and cracks. The oxygen sensor element has a sandwich structure where the sensing layer is sandwiched between the heat insulating layers, thereby reducing the amount of heat dissipated from the sensing layer, and making it possible to achieve electric power saving.

Abstract

An object is to provide a flow sensor element is non-directional and has an excellent sensor sensitivity. A flow sensor element includes a base body having a spherical shape, and a temperature-sensitive film pattern that is disposed over the entirety of a surface of the base body, and changes in an electrical resistance value due to a change in temperature. It is preferable that the temperature-sensitive film pattern be formed by trimming a temperature-sensitive film that has been formed on the surface of the base body. In the flow sensor element, the temperature-sensitive film pattern can be disposed over the entirety of the surface of the base body having a spherical shape. This enables a constant sensor sensitivity to be obtained regardless of a direction of a fluid, and the accuracy of detection of a flow rate can be improved.

Abstract

A circuit protection element (10) is provided with: a pair of electrode parts (12, 14); an element part (16) provided between the electrode parts (12, 14); a plate body (18) that is disposed along the element part (16) and that comprises an insulation body; and an exterior member (20) that covers the element part (16) and the plate body (18). In this configuration, transmission of heat when melting and cutting the element part (16) because of overcurrent is blocked by the plate body (18). Accordingly, since transmission of heat to the exterior member (20) at the time of being melted and cut is suppressed, deformation of the exterior member (20) caused by heat at the time of being melted and cut can be suppressed. Therefore, a change in the external shape of the circuit protection element (10) can be suppressed.
