ABSTRACT:
An improved structure of a gas sensor is provided which is designed to provide a joint between a gas sensor element protective cover and a sensor housing which is insensitive to heat. The housing has formed on a side wall thereof a thread used to installation of the gas sensor, for example, in an exhaust pipe of automotive engines. The joint is located closer to a base end of the sensor housing than a top end of the thread. Specifically, when the gas sensor is installed in the exhaust pipe of the engine, the joint is located farther away from a heat source (i.e., exhaust gasses of the engine) than the top end of the thread, thereby avoiding loosening of the joint or dislodgement of the cover from the housing.
