PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature sensor that can precisely detect the temperatures of a battery.SOLUTION: A temperature measuring unit 12 detects the temperatures of a battery by getting in contact with the battery. A holding unit 13 holds the temeperature measuring unit 12. A spring 15 is provided between the holding unit 13 and a holding cover 14 for installing the temperature sensor 1 to a battery module, to allow the temperature measuring unit 12 to be energized to the battery. The holding cover 14 has a pair of rail parts 142 sandwiching the holding unit 13 and extending along an energization direction Y1. The rail parts 142 regulate the movement of the holding unit 13 to the directions other than the direction Y1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】正確にバッテリの温度を検出することができる温度センサを提供する。【解決手段】測温部１２が、バッテリに当接して温度を検出する。保持部１３が測温部１２を保持する。測温部１２がバッテリに向かって付勢されるように、この保持部１３と温度センサ１をバッテリモジュールに取り付けるための保持カバー１４との間に、バネ１５が設けられている。また、保持カバー１４は、保持部１３を挟み、付勢方向Ｙ１に沿って延在する一対のレール部１４２を有し、このレール部１４２によりバネ１５の付勢方向Ｙ１以外の方向への保持部１３の移動が規制される。【選択図】図６
