ABSTRACT:
An excellent oxygen sensor is provided, comprising; a sensor element having electrodes on inner and outer surfaces thereof, the electrode on the inner surface communicating to the atmosphere, and the electrode on the outer surface communicating to a gas to be measured; a metallic accommodating member accommodating the sensor element; and at least two airtight sealing portions arranged in the accommodating member for separating the gas to be measured from the atmosphere, at least one airtight sealing portion at the low temperature side of the oxygen sensor having a recessed portion formed under compression by pressing the outer surface of the metallic accommodating member after the formation of the airtight sealing portions by compressing the talc powder in the axial direction of the oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor has splendid airtight sealing property of the airtight sealing portions containing compressed talc powders filled therein. Therefore, deterioration of the airtight sealing property of the airtight sealing portions can be substantially obviated and the life of the oxygen sensor can be prolonged, even when the oxygen sensor is exposed to vibrations and/or heat cycles during a long period of use.
