Abstract
A gas sensor including a plate-shaped sensor element having an electrode pad on an outer surface of the sensor element on a rear end side thereof, and a metal terminal member electrically connected to the electrode pad. The metal terminal member includes a body portion and an element abutting portion extending from the body portion and bent toward the electrode pad. A portion of the element abutting portion is in contact with the electrode pad in a state in which the element abutting portion is elastically deflected. The element abutting portion has a flat main surface facing the sensor element, and a sloping surface provided on at least one of end portions in a width direction of the metal terminal member. The sloping surface is connected to the main surface and extends toward an opposite side in a thickness direction of the element abutting portion.
