Abstract

To provide a ceramic heater that has high durability by increasing the bonding strength between the lead member and the brazing material, the ceramic heater comprises a ceramic base, a heating resistor embedded in the ceramic base, an external electrode that is disposed on side face of the ceramic base and is electrically connected to the heating resistor, and a lead member brazed onto the external electrodes, wherein the distance between a point in the brazed portion of the periphery of the lead member and a center of the lead member is smaller than the distance between an another point in the brazed portion and the center, in a section of the lead member perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lead member.
