Abstract
A gas sensor designed to ensure waterproofing and air ventilation is provided which includes a rubber bush fitted in an end of an air cover joined to a housing. The rubber bush has formed in a base portion thereof lead-pass holes and in a top portion thereof an air flow path through which air is introduced into an air chamber in the gas sensor. The air cover is crimped circumferentially to provide an elastic nip only to the base portion of the rubber bush, thereby ensuring tight fits of the leads in the lead-pass holes without deforming the air flow path undesirably. An ventilation filter is fit on a neck of the rubber bush between the base portion and the top portion in communication with the air flow path, thus ensuring the stability of entrance of the air into the air flow path through the ventilation filter.
