Abstract: The present invention provides a sensor capable of maintaining an electrical connection between the lead frame and an electrode terminal section of the detection element even when an inadequate external force is applied to a lead frame and a sensor production method capable of preventing the lead frame from buckling and being deformed into an inadequate shape. The lead frame (second lead frame) can inhibit movement of a second frame main body section axially toward a rear end side through engagement of a third locking surface of a second locking section with a second locking groove and can inhibit the second frame main body section from going apart from an inner surface of an insertion hole through engagement of a fourth locking surface of the second frame locking section, which faces an element engagement section side. Namely, even when an external force is applied to the lead frame, movement of the lead frame main body section (second lead frame main body section) can be inhibited and a variation in the relative positions of the lead frame and the detection element can be prevented.

Abstract: A total NOx sensor with minimal interferences from CO and O2 includes a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) pellet and a Pt-loaded zeolite Y layer. Furthermore, three platinum wires are attached to the YSZ surface which operate as the working, counter and reference electrode. A potentiostat is connected to the electrodes to maintain a fixed potential between the reference and working electrode. The potentiostat then monitors the relationship between time and current through the counter electrode.

Abstract: A gas sensor equipped with a protective gas cover which defines therein a gas chamber to which a sensor element is exposed. The protective gas cover has gas inlet holes through which gas to be measured is admitted. The protective cover also has dimples formed adjacent the gas inlet holes, respectively, which are designed to avoid a direct hit of a flow of the gas on the sensor element and minimize the concentration of thermal stress around the gas inlet holes. In an alternative form, the gas inlet holes are formed in the dimples, respectively.
