By the way, in order to compare the product according to the present invention with the conventional product, the relationship between the heat treatment temperature and the electrical connectivity of the element body 1 with the electrode 2 was examined through experiments. The results are shown in the diagram of FIG.

Electrical connectivity between the element body t and the electrode 2 cannot be ensured unless heat treatment is performed at a high temperature of about ℃ (resistance ratio R/Ro=1
Furthermore, the electrical connectivity between the two varies depending on the heat treatment temperature. On the other hand, in the product implementing the present invention, electrical connectivity is ensured by heat treatment at a low temperature of slightly over 200°C (resistance ratio R/Ro = 1), and the heat treatment temperature is higher than that. Now, the electrical connectivity is stable.

The reason why the heat treatment temperature required to improve electrical connectivity is lower than that of conventional methods is that the thermal conductivity of the nickel plating film containing boron is higher than that of the nickel plating film containing phosphorus.
