<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensor that reduces a loss and wear which may be caused when a connection terminal is fitted in a sensor element and obtains stability of the electrical connection between a connection terminal and an electrode. <P>SOLUTION: The terminal 21 of a connection terminal 2 which is fitted in the rear end 67 of the sensor element 6 is connected electrically to the electrode 75 through a projection 22 which is projected inwardly from the inner circumferential surface 218. The length S between the top end 215 of the terminal 21 and the top end of the inclination portion 221 of the projector 22 is made smaller than the length T between the rear end 68 of the sensor element 6 and the rear end of the electrode 75. When fitting is performed, the gap G between the top end 215 of the terminal 21 and the electrode 75 which is caused from the projector 22 is formed. This reduces the fear of cutting down the electrode 75 by the top end of 215 of the terminal 21. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
