    摘要: A powder filler is stuffed in a filler space defined between a housing and a gas sensing element so as to airtightly seal a clearance between the housing and the gas sensing element. The powder filler contains grains whose diameter is in a range from 80 μm to 5,000 μm when measured before being stuffed into the filler space. A weight percentage of the grains having the diameter of 80 μm to 5,000 μm is equal to or larger than 80% with respect to an overall weight of the powder filler.

    摘要: A sensor element has a solid electrolyte body holding a reference gas side electrode and a measurement gas side electrode on surfaces thereof. The measurement gas side electrode is covered with a porous protective layer including a component as a lead getter, which reacts with lead contained in measurement gas. Accordingly, lead is removed from measurement gas by the protective layer not to be attached to the measurement gas side electrode. As a result, the sensor element can be used in measurement gas containing lead, without deteriorating responsibility and output thereof.

    摘要: An improved structure of an oxygen sensing element installed in an oxygen sensor designed to measure an oxygen content in gases is provided. The structure includes a cup-shaped solid electrolyte body, an inner electrode, and an outer electrode. The solid electrolyte body has a portion exposed to the gases which has a given length. The inner electrode is formed on an inner wall of the solid electrolyte body and exposed to air. The outer electrode is formed on an outer wall of the solid electrolyte body and exposed to the gases through a protective layer. The oxygen content in the gases is measured based on output signals from the inner and outer electrodes. The outer electrode occupies an area on the outer wall of the solid electrolyte body within a range of 80% of the given length of the gas-exposed portion of the solid electrolyte body and has a thickness ranging from 1.2 to 3.0 &mgr;m. This allows the oxygen sensing element to determine the oxygen content in the gases precisely and to have an improved heat-resistance.
