Abstract
An exhaust sensor includes a sensing element with a ceramic sensing element substrate and a sensing element terminal which is electrically conductive and which is supported by the ceramic sensing element substrate such that the sensing element is configured to sense constituents of exhaust gases when exposed thereto. The exhaust sensor also includes a mating terminal which is electrically conductive and which is in electrical communication with the sensing element terminal. The mating terminal has a base material and a clad material bonded to the base material such that the clad material contacts the sensing element terminal and such that the clad material is located between the sensing element terminal and the base material, thereby providing the electrical communication. The clad material is an alloy which is less than or equal to 20% iron, greater than or equal to 40% nickel, and greater than or equal to 13% chromium.
