ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an EGR sensor capable of stably holding the actuating shaft of a product without increasing the length of the actuating shaft in the longitudinal direction and shorting the movable range of the actuating shaft, and capable of preventing water stagnated in the EGR sensor from affecting contacting portions of the conductive parts. The EGR sensor comprises a substrate having a slider and a plurality of external lead-out terminals and electrodes, a bearing having an actuating shaft passing there through, and a casing having a receiving portion for receiving the substrate and the slider. A communicating passage comprising a groove or a hole is provided at the side of the bearing. The communicating passage leads to the insertion hole from the inside of the receiving portion. The moisture stagnated in the receiving portion is drained through the communicating passage to the outside.
