Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas sensor including coating layers ( 64 ) and ( 69 ) of fluorine or a fluorine compound formed on the surface of a separator ( 60 ), including a front separator ( 61 ) and a rear separator ( 66 ), disposed inside a sheath ( 30 ). The coating layers ( 64 ) and ( 69 ) have water impermeability and water repellency. Even in the case where moisture contained in the atmosphere within a sheath ( 30 ) forms dew on the surface of the separator ( 60 ), the coating layers ( 64 ) and ( 69 ) prevent soaking of moisture into the separator ( 60 ), to thereby secure the insulation property of the separator ( 60 ). Also, the coating layers ( 64 ) and ( 69 ) having water repellency prevent a water droplet from spreading on the surface of the separator ( 60 ) with resultant formation of a film of water, to thereby prevent flow of leakage current via a film of water.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gas sensor comprising: a detection element extending in an axial direction and adapted to detect the concentration of a specific gas; a metallic shell circumferentially surrounding and holding the detection element; a sheath attached to a rear end portion of the metallic shell and surrounding a rear end portion of the detection element; and a separator formed of an electrically insulating ceramic, disposed inside the sheath, and accommodating…
