An improved structure of a gas sensor is provided which is designed to establish firm electric connections between electrode terminals formed on opposed major surfaces of a sensor element and terminals of a connector disposed within a body of the gas sensor leading to an external devices. The connector includes two arrays of terminals. Each of the terminals has a contact elastically deformable at least in a direction perpendicular to the opposed major surfaces of the sensor element for keeping the electric connections of the electrode terminals and the terminals of the connector constant.
