  • the metal cap 4 is arranged so as to cover the one end of the ceramic body 1 and at least a portion of the conductor layer 3, and is electrically connected to the conductor layer 3.
  • the metal cap 4 has a shape corresponding to the tapered shape of the ceramic body 1.
  • the bottom portion 41 has the shape of a substantially circular plate.
  • the side portion 42 is shaped such that the side portion 42 is substantially annular in in cross section perpendicular to the axial length direction of the ceramic body 1, and such that the side portion 42 expands as the distance from the bottom portion 41 increases.

  • the metal cap 4 has a slit 43 formed in a portion of the outer periphery of the metal cap 4.
  • the slit 43 extends from an outer region, that is, the rim, toward an inner region, that is, the central region. More specifically, the slit 43 extends from the bottom edge of the side portion 42 toward the center of the bottom portion 41. Accordingly, when the thermal expansion of the metal cap 4 occurs, the metal cap 4 can be deformed such that the width of the slit 43 decreases. Thus, the difference between the amount of thermal expansion of the metal cap 4 and the amount of thermal expansion of the ceramic body 1 can be reduced. This leads to a reduction in the thermal stress generated between the metal cap 4 and the ceramic body 1. As a result, the long-term reliability of the heater 10 can be improved.

  • the slit 43 extends from the bottom edge of the side portion 42 of the metal cap 4 to the central region of the bottom portion 41. Accordingly, the thermal expansion of the bottom portion 41 in the circumferential direction can be reduced in a balanced manner, so that a change in the shape of the bottom portion 41 after the thermal expansion from that before the thermal expansion can be reduced. Accordingly, the thermal stress generated in the metal cap 4 can be further reduced.
  • the slit 43 is formed such that the slit 43 has a circular-hole-shaped end portion in the central region.
  • a slit having such a shape is also regarded as a single slit 43.

  • the lead terminal 5 is a component for electrically connecting the metal cap 4 and the conductor layer 3 to the external electrode.
  • the lead terminal 5 is made of, for example, a metal material such as nickel or a stainless steel.
  • the terminal 5 is a linear component, and the end portion thereof is disposed in the slit 43 in the metal cap 4 and bonded to the metal cap 4. Accordingly, the metal cap 4 and the lead terminal 5 can be more strongly bonded together than in the case where the lead terminal 5 is bonded to the outer surface of the bottom portion 41 of the metal cap 4.
  • the above-described solder material 7 spreads over a portion of the slit 43 that is formed in the bottom portion 41, and surrounds the lead terminal 5.

  • the portion of the solder material 7 that spreads to the region outside the bottom portion 41 surrounds the end portion of the lead terminal 5. Accordingly, the metal cap 4 and the lead terminal 5 can be more strongly bonded together.
  • the width of the end portion of the slit 43 is greater than the width of a portion of the slit 43 that extends from the outer region toward the inner region. More specifically, the end portion of the slit 43 has a circular shape in plan view at the central region of the bottom portion 41 of the metal cap 4, and the diameter (width) of the end portion of the slit 43 is greater than the width of the portion of the slit 43 that extends from the outer region toward the inner region. Accordingly, when the metal cap 4 and the lead terminal 5 are bonded together while the lead terminal 5 is disposed in the end portion of the slit 43, the risk that the lead terminal 5 will be shifted to the portion of the slit 43 that extends from the outer region toward the inner region can be reduced.
  • the lead terminal 5 may have a diameter that is greater than the width of the portion of the slit 43 that extends from the outer region toward the inner region and smaller than the diameter (width) of the end portion of the slit 43. In this case, the risk that the lead terminal 5 will be shifted to the portion of the slit 43 that extends from the outer region toward the inner region can be further reduced.
  • the shape of the end portion is not limited to this. More specifically, the end portion of the slit 43 may instead have a polygonal shape, such as a rectangular shape. Alternatively, the end portion of the slit 43 may have, for example, an elliptical shape or an oval shape. When the end portion of the slit 43 has a polygonal shape, the length of the longest one of the diagonal lines that connect the corners may be regarded as the width. When the end portion of the slit 43 has an elliptical shape or an oval shape, the length of the major axis may be regarded as the width.
  • the solder material 7 may be applied such that the solder material 7 spreads over the portion of the slit 43 that is formed in the bottom portion 41 but does not spread into a portion of the slit 43 that is formed in the side portion 42.
  • the metal cap 4 and the lead terminal 5 can be strongly bonded together while the thermal stress generated between the metal cap 4 and the ceramic body 1 is suppressed.
  • the solder material 7 may be applied such that the solder material 7 spreads not only over a portion of the conductor layer 3 provided on the end surface of the ceramic body 1 but also over a portion of the conductor layer 3 provided on a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the tapered portion 11.
  • the portion of the conductor layer 3 provided on a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the tapered portion 11 may be bonded to the side portion 42 of the metal cap 4. In this case, the metal cap 4 and the lead terminal 5 can be more strongly bonded together.
  • the metal cap 4 includes the bottom portion 41 and the side portion 42, and the conductor layer 3 is located on a surface of the ceramic body 1 in a region closer to the bottom portion 41 of the metal cap 4 than the open end of the side portion 42 is. More specifically, the end of the side portion 42 of the metal cap 4 opposite the end at which the bottom portion 41 is provided is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tapered portion 11, and the conductor layer 3 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tapered portion 11 in a region closer to the end surface of the ceramic body 1 than a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the tapered portion 11 that is in contact with the side portion 42 is.
  • the conductor layer 3 may be arranged such that the conductor layer 3 is not provided on a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the tapered portion 11 that is in contact with the side portion 42. Accordingly, when the conductor layer 3 and the metal cap 4 are bonded together with the solder material 7, the solder material 7 may be easily introduced into the space between the conductor layer 3 and the metal cap 4.
  • one lead portion 22 of the heating resistor 2 extends to the end surface of the ceramic body 1 at the one end thereof.
  • the region to which the lead portion 22 extends overlaps the slit 43, and the lead terminal 5 is placed in the slit 43.
  • the lead terminal 5 is located so as to overlap the region to which the lead portion 22 extends. Accordingly, the lead portion 22 and the lead terminal 5 may be arranged near each other, so that the length of the path along which the electricity flows between the lead portion 22 and the lead terminal 5 can be reduced. As a result, unnecessary resistance between the lead portion 22 and the lead terminal 5 can be reduced.
