A protruding insulator portion of a cylindrical insulator protrudes at least 1.0 mm from a leading end surface of a cylindrical metal shell. A protruding center electrode portion of the center electrode protrudes at least 3.5 mm from the leading end surface of the cylindrical metal shell. A relationship (θ1+θ2)/2≧75 degrees is satisfied where the angle θ1 is defined as a central angle (degrees) of a first circular sector having a point B1 as a center thereof, and the angle θ2 is an average value (degrees) of the central angles of two second circular sectors having the point B1 as a center thereof.
