Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a holding jig that is used for applying a liquid bath treatment to a planar workpiece, has good cleaning capabilities, and avoids intimate contact of the planar workpiece with a rear member of the holding jig so that the planar workpiece can be easily detached from the holding jig after cleaning. A holding jig is used for applying a liquid bath treatment to a planar workpiece. The holding jig comprises a rear member, and a front member that faces the rear member and has an opening portion. The planar workpiece is disposed between the rear member and the front member, and the rear member has a plurality of projections formed on the surface of the rear member facing the front member.

Abstract: A gas sensor includes a gas sensor element for detecting the concentration of a specific gas in a gas under measurement, a tubular housing having an opening, a sealing member closing the opening, and a heat dissipating member having a rear end located at the same position or forward of the rear end of the housing. The heat dissipating member reduces heat transferred from the forward end side of the gas sensor to the sealing member and includes a connection portion connected to the housing, and a main portion extending rearward from the connection portion such that a gap is formed between the main portion and the housing. The main portion has heat dissipating openings for establishing communication between the gap and a space on the outer circumferential side of the heat dissipating member. The heat dissipating openings are formed on the rear end side of the main portion.
