As shown in Fig. 1, a conventionally used thermistor element consists of a thermistor material 1, an electrode 2, a press-fit cap 3,
It is formed from a heat-resistant organic insulating paint 4. So-called rod-type thermistors are common. This thermistor element is housed in an explosion-proof metal case. This unit is fixed at a fixed position, and the resistance value of the thermistor element changes depending on whether it is above or below the liquid level, and the level of the liquid level is detected. At this time, if the thermistor element is above the liquid, heat dissipation is worse than when it is in the liquid, and the element surface temperature rises and may reach 300°C to 450°C. At such high temperatures, the silver used in the electrodes undergoes migration.
A short circuit occurs between the electrodes, damaging the function of the thermistor element. In addition, to prevent migration, a silicone-based heat-resistant organic paint has traditionally been applied to the surface to protect it, but at high temperatures, the organic matter carbonizes or pinholes form on the surface, causing corrosion. This has the drawback of degrading the thermistor element and impairing its functionality.

(Description of Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a thermistor element according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 5 is a special titanium compound,
A heat-resistant inorganic adhesive (trade name: G5-900, Cosmos Chemical Co., Ltd.) mainly made of alumina compounds and zirconia compounds is coated uniformly on the element surface to a thickness of 50 μm to 100 μm. Bake at high temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. The thermistor element thus manufactured was assembled into an oil level gauge unit and subjected to a severe C20V continuous energization test.As shown in Figure 3, it was found to be extremely stable with less resistance value change compared to conventional products. It was found that reliability was improved.
