GAS SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053294 titled 'GAS SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a gas sensor with a sensor element, metal terminal, and separator.
- Sensor element with electrode pad
- Metal terminal connected to electrode pad via contact portion
- Separator holding metal terminal
- Metal terminal has stopper portion crossing axial-line direction
- Distance between electrode pad end and contact portion (da) is greater than distance between separator inner surface and stopper portion distal end (db)
---

Original Abstract Submitted
a gas sensor () including: a sensor element () having an electrode pad (); a metal terminal () electrically connected to the electrode pad via a contact portion c; and a separator () retaining the metal terminal, wherein the metal terminal includes a stopper portion () extending in a direction crossing the axial-line direction, and where, in a pair of one of an electrode pad () and one of a metal terminal () connected thereto, as seen along a widthwise direction of the sensor element, an end of the one electrode pad that is closest to one inner surface of the separator is defined as a pad end, a distance between the pad end and the contact portion is defined as da, and a distance between the one inner surface of the separator and a distal end of the stopper portion is defined as db, da>db is satisfied.
