Abstract
In a gas sensor, a powder compact seals a void space between an inner peripheral surface of metal-made main hardware and a sensor element, and the inner peripheral surface has arithmetic average roughness of 0.5 to 5 μm. The gas sensor includes supporters, which are arranged in a penetration hole of the main hardware, which allow the sensor element to penetrate therethrough, and which press the powder compact in sandwiching relation from both sides in an axial direction. A surface of at least one of the supporters has the arithmetic average roughness of not more than 0.5 μm.
