ABSTRACT:
To provide an easily manufactured and easily connected heater element for a tubular ion-conductive body (26) forming a sensing element (24) of the oxygen sensor, the heater element (35) comprises a plate-like substrate (36) of insulating material, e.g. ceramic, which, at its inner end is wider than at the end fitting into the inside of the tubular ion-conductive body, the conductors leading to the heater being formed as conductive tracks spaced apart from each other by a greater distance at the inner end, adjacent connection zones (37/3), than close to the heater zone (37/1), the plate-like substrate, at the inner portion, being essentially trapezoidal and terminating in an end edge (36') which forms the wider side of the trapezoid. Electrical connection to the connection zones (37/3) and simultaneous retention of the plate-like body (36) within the sensor, are obtained by engaging the connection zones with bent-over hook-like spring wires (58, 59) pressing the plate-like body in the region of the connection zones against an abutment surface (55) formed within an insulator (40) located in the sensor.
