The formation of gaps between them is suppressed. Therefore, it is suppressed that the fixed state of the terminal connection portion 360 with respect to the base portion 373 becomes extremely unstable. As a result, the action of stress on the solder 353c connecting the terminal connection portion 360 and the lead terminal 353b is suppressed.

  • connection hole 360c corresponding to the connection portion with the lead terminal 353b in the terminal connection portion 360 in the triangle connecting the three fixed points. Is located. Therefore, the position of the connection hole 360c is less likely to change relative to the base portion 373 as compared with the configuration in which the connection hole 360c is located outside the triangle.
  • connection hole 360c and the base portion 373 suppresses the action of stress on the solder 353c that connects the terminal connection portion 360 in which the connection hole 360c is formed and the lead terminal 353b. This suppresses the occurrence of electrical connection failure between the terminal connection portion 360 and the lead terminal 353b.
  • the first detection terminal 351 and the second detection terminal 354 are fixed to the connected base portion 373 of the first frame portion 375 via the second frame portion 376, respectively.
  • the first frame portion 375 is connected to the base portion 373. Therefore, even if the first wall portion 377 and the second wall portion 378 are each divided into two by the first slit 375e, these two divided wall portions are connected via the base portion 373. Although only the first frame portion 375 is shown in FIG. 18, the boundary between the first frame portion 375 and the base portion 373 is shown by a alternate long and short dash line.
