Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2000205989
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To easily assemble a wet sensor into a circuit mounted in a vehicle and to detect wetting due to submergence of the vehicle, etc.

This wet sensor includes a plurality of wiring members 31 to 36, a pair of detection electrodes 21, 22 formed integrally with the pair of wiring members 31, 32 and oppositely disposed with a predetermined gap therebetween, a detection circuit element 23a circuit connected to the predetermined wiring members 31 to 36 for outputting a detection signal of a predetermined level when a leak current flows because of the intervention of water between the detection electrodes 21, 22, mounting parts 41 to 46 formed integrally with the wiring members 31 to 36 and attached to sensor attaching terminals while being aligned parallel to one another, and a cover member 38 covering the wiring members 31 to 36 and the detection circuit element 23a while leaving the mounting parts 41 to 46 exposed. The pair of detection electrodes 21, 22 are oppositely disposed in midair, and the mounting parts 41 to 46 are generally of the same shape as fuse attaching parts.
