To provide for insulation between the conductors of a solid electrolyte ion-conductive oxygen measuring tube and a steel housing thereof, for introduction into the exhaust system of an automotive vehicle, the housing is formed with a shoulder against which a ceramic ring is seated, the tube passing through the ring, and likewise being formed with a shoulder seating against the ring. The outer conductor along the tube extends beyond the ring. A resilient electrically conductive mass such as graphite is packed around the tube, and spaced from the inner walls of the housing by a resilient mass of an insulating powder, such as talcum. The tube is held in position by a second insulating ring, the aperture of which is lined with a metallic sleeve contacting the electrically conductive powder and providing a contact connection to a terminal located in an end insulator secured to the housing; the interior of the tube is likewise connected to another terminal located in the insulator. |
