A sensor element for detecting a level of a gas component in the measured gas or a temperature of the measured gas. The sensor element includes at least one solid electrolyte layer. The solid electrolyte layer has at least one plated-through hole. The sensor element further includes a conductive element, which produces an electrically conductive connection through the plated-through hole. In the plated-through hole, the solid electrolyte layer is electrically insulated from the conductive element by an insulating element. At least one opening region of the plated-through hole is stabilized against phase transition by a stabilizing element. The stabilizing element is made at least partially of a material, which includes a noble metal and an element selected from the group consisting of: V, Nb, Ta, Sb, Bi, Cr, Mo, W. A method for manufacturing the sensor element is also provided.

Sensor element for detecting at least one property of a measured gas in a measured gas chamber, and method for manufacturing the same

A heating conductor, in particular for a sensor for determining at least one gas component in the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines. The heating conductor formed from a cermet which contains platinum, at least one metal oxide, and at least two further precious metals. A method for manufacturing the heating conductor by applying a paste containing a platinum powder, a metal oxide powder, and at least two further precious metals, to a ceramic foil and sintering the paste and ceramic foil combination.
