<p>An oxygen sensor comprising: an elongated planar sensing element (44); a tubular shield (63) within which at least a portion of the sensing element extends; a seal (10) sealably mounting the sensing element within the tubular shield; a shell (50) for mounting the oxygen sensor to a body through which exhaust flows; and an annular gasket (34) seating at a first surface (37) the tubular shield and at a second surface (69) an annular seat of the shell, wherein there is no direct contact between the tubular shield and the shell. An advantage of improved shock resistance is obtained, preventing damage to the seal, which may be made of glass.</p> |
