Abstract
A pressure sensor-incorporating spark plug including a groove for accommodating an output cable formed on a side surface of a hexagonal portion . A U-shaped member is bent into a tubular shape to obtain a fixing member . After the fixing member and the output cable passing through the fixing member are placed in the groove , the fixing member is crimped in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. ( ), so that the fixing member is deformed to fit the wall surface of the groove . Thus, the output cable is nipped by the fixing member , and the fixing member is held within the groove of the hexagonal portion . As a result, the output cable is fixed to the hexagonal portion
