Abstract: A temperature sensor includes a temperature sensitive element, a sheath portion, a surrounding portion, and a holding member. This temperature sensor has a void formed forward of a temperature sensitive body. When the void is projected in an axial direction of the surrounding portion from a forward end side of the surrounding portion, the void contains at least a forward end surface of the temperature sensitive body.

Abstract: A temperature sensor includes a sheath member having an insulative holding member which contains an oxygen supplying substance and is formed in such a manner that the oxygen supplying substance is exposed when viewed from an opening on the distal end side of a sheath tube. Since the insulative holding member releases oxygen from the distal end side of the sheath member, a decrease in oxygen concentration around a thermistor element can be suppressed. Thus, it is possible to suppress a change in the characteristics of the thermistor element due to reduction action, and to suppress decrease in temperature detection accuracy. Since the oxygen supplying substance is contained in the insulative holding member, compared with a configuration where a pellet is disposed on the distal end side of the thermistor element, delay in heat conduction is less likely to occur, and a decrease in temperature detection response can be suppressed.
