Abstract: Described is a pressure measuring glow plug with a housing, a glow pin, which projects out of the housing and can be displaced in its longitudinal direction relative to the housing against a restoring force. A sensor acquires the position of the glow pin or a pressure acting on the glow pin, and a center pole is arranged in the housing and electrically connected to the glow pin via a contact spring. This disclosure provides that the contact spring is a U-shaped, bent metal strip, which in a middle section has a reduced width, and broadens from the middle section toward its two ends.

Optionally, the glow plug includes a control element, embedded in insulating material, associated with said heating element which is positioned within the heating rod. The heating element, at the end facing the electrical connection, has an internal pole, with internal pole lead-in, for connection to a power source; while, the end of said heating element facing the combustion chamber is connected to the tip of the heating rod. The glow plug also includes a contact tube which is pushed onto the end region of the heating rod facing the electrical connection in order to extend the heating rod in the direction of the electrical connection to define a hollow space between the contact tube and the internal pole, internal pole lead-in, which is filled with insulating material.
