Abstract: A sensor including a sensor element, a metallic shell, a terminal fitting, a cylindrical case, lead wires, a connector portion, and a cylindrical heat shield tube. The heat shield tube includes a first tube and a second tube. The second tube is disposed on a distal end side of the first tube and covers an outer surface of the rear end side of the case, while providing an overlapping portion that overlaps the first tube. A rear end side of the first tube is adjacent to the connector portion. A total length T of the heat shield tube and a length S of the overlapping portion satisfy T/10?S?T/5. Further, a length L1 of the first tube and a length L2 of the second tube satisfy T/2?L2<L1.
