Abstract
A gas sensor includes a body having a measurement-gas chamber and a reference-gas chamber. The measurement-gas chamber is supplied with a measurement gas. The reference-gas chamber is supplied with a reference gas. A detecting cell provided in the body includes (1) a solid electrolyte member, (2) a measuring electrode provided on the solid electrolyte member and facing the measurement-gas chamber, and (3) a reference electrode provided on the solid electrolyte member and facing the reference-gas chamber. A heater portion operates for heating the detecting cell. The heater portion includes (1) a first substrate, (2) a heating member provided on the first substrate, (3) a high-voltage-side lead portion provided on the first substrate and electrically connected to the heating member, (4) a low-voltage-side lead portion provided on the first substrate and electrically connected to the heating member, and (5) a second substrate covering the heating member. The first substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The first surface of the first substrate faces the body. The heating member extends on the first surface of the first substrate. The high-voltage-side lead portion extends on the second surface of the first substrate.
