| 摘要 |
An electrochemical device such as an oxygen sensor comprising a plurality of solid electrolyte bodies, at least one pair of electrodes, each pair being disposed such taht the electrodes are held in contact with the solid electrolyte bodies separately, at least one conductor sandwiched by two adjacent ones of the solid electrolyte bodies, and at least one electrical insulation layer. A substantive portion of at least one side of the conductor indirectly contacts with one of the two adjacent solid electrolyte bodies via the electrical insulation layer which is disposed therebetween, whereby the conductor is protected from direct contact with the associated solid electrolyte body. The insulation layer further serves to prevent noises which could otherwise be produced due to leakage current from the conductor. The conductor may be a lead connected to one of the electrodes, or a heater for heating a portion of the solid electrolyte body adjacent to the electrodes. |
