Abstract
A gas sensor stabilizes a contact state between a sensor element and each spring terminal is provided. A gas sensor includes a sensor element, a plurality of contact springs and an insulator. The insulator has an element insertion hole into which the sensor element is inserted, and a pair of spring guide grooves for guiding the pair of contact springs respectively. Each of the spring contact portions has a spring contact portion, whereby the spring contact portions are disposed at mutually-opposed positions with the sensor element located therebetween. The pair of spring guide grooves are formed at the mutually-opposed positions. The insulator is formed with a flex guide groove extending in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the spring guide groove is formed. The flex guide groove communicates with the pair of spring guide grooves, and collectively guides the extension portions of the pair of spring contact portions.
