Miniaturized exhaust gas sensor

摘要

An exhaust gas sensor (10") includes a sensor element (66) configured to communicate with an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, a contact pin (368) having a first end (376) electrically connected to the sensor element and a second end (384) extending away from the sensor element, and a spark plug-type post terminal (392) connected to the second end (384) of the contact pin (368). The spark plug-type post terminal (392) preferably conforms with SAE J548-1 standards and can be threaded onto the second end of the contact pin. Also provided is an exhaust gas sensor designed to be shorter and better suited for use in non-automotive applications.
