Zusammenfassung:A sensor element includes: an element base including: a ceramic body made of an oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte, and having a gas inlet at one end portion thereof; at least one internal chamber located inside the ceramic body, and communicating with the gas inlet under predetermined diffusion resistance; an electrochemical pump cell including an electrode located on an outer surface of the ceramic body, an electrode facing the chamber, and a solid electrolyte located therebetween; and a heater buried in the ceramic body, and an leading-end protective layer being porous, and covering a leading end surface and four side surfaces in a predetermined range of the element base on the one end portion. The leading-end protective layer has an extension extending into the gas inlet, and fixed to an inner wall surface of the ceramic body demarcating the gas inlet.
