Abstract:
1. A gas sensor comprising: a sensor element; and a contact member having an insertion port in which said sensor element is inserted and retained to obtain an electric connection with said sensor element, wherein said contact member is provided with a plurality of sensor element retaining members having conductivity which respectively have two abutting parts abutting on said sensor element, one of said two abutting parts is a first abutting part which is continuously bent from a base part of said sensor element retaining member towards a leading end part to form one of a linear shape and a point-like shape, said leading end part of said first abutting part is a free end part which applies an elastic force to said sensor element while having one of point contact and line contact with said sensor element, said sensor element retaining member and said sensor element are electrically conducted by setting said first abutting part to a contact point, and said first abutting part of said two abutting parts is positioned in a back side of said insertion port than a second abutting part which is another of said two abutting parts.
