Abstract
A sensor for determining an oxygen content of an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine includes a flat-plate sensing element that is inserted in a gas-tight fashion via a hybrid seal in a ceramic shaped element that is arranged in a metal housing. The seal includes a powdered sealing packing, both placed around the sensing element in a recess at one end of the ceramic shaped element and a fusible glass seal located above the powdered sealing packing. The seal achieves gas-tight and gasoline-resistant isolation or immobilization of the sensing element in the ceramic shaped element.
