<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a glow plug with a built-in controller having a simple structure, being small, and having high durability, in which the glow plug having a built-in heating element that produces heat by energization is integrated with the controller for controlling opening and closing of the energization to the heating element. <P>SOLUTION: The controller 4 includes: a semiconductor open/close element that, at least, is located downstream the heating element 10 and configured by an earthed n-channel MOSFET; and a downstream drive circuit that drives the semiconductor open/close element in an open/close manner in accordance with a drive signal SI. The controller 4 is located in a controller-accommodating space 500 which is divided between a housing 16 and a connector 5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
