Abstract
An exhaust gas sensor is provided and formed by attaching the sensor's upper shield and shell. The attachment is attained by bending a protruding segment or lip over a terminal end portion of the lower shield. This produces a single sealing surface and eliminates the requirement of a conventional crimp which places high compressive forces on the sensing element.
