Gas sensor for determining concentration or temperature of e.g. nitrogen oxide, in exhaust gas of internal combustion engine, has electrical connection cables bundled in circumferentially insulated cable strand and fixed to each other

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The sensor has a sensor housing including a sensor element and electrical connection cables (18) for the sensor element, where each cable includes an electrical conductor (21) enclosed by an insulating jacket (22). The connection cables are bundled in a circumferentially insulated cable strand (20), and the cables are fixed to each other. The connection cables along with the insulating jackets are fixed connected together through a wrapped bandage (23). #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Gas sensor for determining physical property i.e. concentration or temperature (claimed) of a gas component e.g. oxygen or nitrogen oxide, in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The sensor does not require separate silicone rubber tube or a PTFE molded tube for guiding the connecting cables, thus reducing the cost in the manufacture of the gas sensor. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a sectional view of a portion of a gas sensor. 18 : Electrical connection cables 20 : Insulated cable strand 21 : Electrical conductor 22 : Insulating jacket 23 : Wrapped bandage #CMT#POLYMERS : #/CMT# The bandage consists of sintered PTFE tape.
