Gas sensor incorporating a multilayered gas sensing element

摘要

A multilayered gas sensing element 2 is positioned in a cylindrical housing 10 via a cylindrical insulator 3. The multilayered gas sensing element 2 includes a narrow-width portion 21 and a wide-width portion 22. The wide-width portion 22 is in a fixed relationship with respect to the insulator 3. The narrow-width portion 21 is in a floating relationship with respect to the insulator 3. The narrow-width portion 21 has a gas sensing portion for detecting the concentration of a specific gas contained in a measuring objective gas.
