Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a soldering property by using a silver containing material and also, not to short-circuit irreversibly by depositing the silver even if water is stuck to an element, by covering a terminal electrode of a dew condensation detecting element by an insulating and waterproofing thermosetting resin composite. CONSTITUTION:Terminal electrodes 2, 2' are formed by printing electrically conductive paste essentially consisting of Pd and Ag on a ceramic insulating substrate 1 and calcining it and hereafter, a pair of electrode 3, 3' is formed by using the electrically conductive paste essentially consisting of ruthenium oxide. Next, the electrode 3 is connected with the electrode 3' and a porous hygroscopic humidity sensitive body 4 essentially consisting of barium titanate is formed and then, each lead wire 5, 5' is connected with each electrode 2, 2' by a solder 6. Next, a resin film 8 is formed by applying an insulating and waterproofing themosetting resin composite essentially consisting of epoxy resin which covers the electrodes 2, 2' and by hardening it. In this manner, an inexpensive and highly reliable dew condensation detecting element is obtained.

An example of a conventional dew condensation sensing element is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, on a ceramic substrate 1, there are solderable terminal electrodes 2 and 2' mainly made of palladium and silver, opposing electrodes 6 and 3' mainly made of ruthenium oxide, and electrodes 6 and 3' made mainly of porous metal oxide. After sequentially printing and baking the component moisture sensitive element 4, the lead wires 5 and 5' are connected to the terminal electrodes 2 and 2' by soldering. In this element, when a heavy pressure is applied between the lead wires 5 and 5', water adheres to the element and the moisture sensitive element 4 absorbs water, causing the electrodes 3 and 3' to absorb water.
Since the principle is to detect a decrease in the resistance value between the terminal electrodes 2 and 2', water 7 is detected between the terminal electrodes 2 and 2', as shown in FIG. If the pressure applied between leads #5 and 5' exceeds a certain value, since the terminal electrodes 2 and 2' contain silver,
During this time, the ionized silver foil and the bride gold maple precipitate, resulting in a short circuit, which has the drawback of irreversibly impairing the function of the dew condensation sensing element.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in FIGS. 3 and 6.
This will be explained with reference to FIG. 4, which is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line A'. In this example, a conductive paste mainly composed of palladium and silver is printed on an insulating ceramic substrate 1 mainly composed of alumina or the like, and is baked at 700 to 900°C to form terminal electrodes 2.

After connecting them with solder 6, an insulating, water-resistant, thermosetting resin composition containing epoxy resin as a main component is applied to further hide the terminal electrodes 2, 2' covered with solder 6. The resin film 8 is formed by curing at 150°C.

Since there is no contact between silver and water, no ionization reaction of silver occurs, and therefore no irreversible short circuit occurs between the terminal electrodes 2 and 2' due to precipitation of iron metal.
