RE: O2 Sensor Works HOW? was: Fw: RE:solder vs. crimp

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

Makes no sense that the O2 sensor's designers would have it sampling
atmosphere through an electrical wire (even if that could be done, which I
doubt) when a simple port in the sensor's body would suffice.  Also, why
would it need to sample atmosphere at all?  Within a few tenths of a
percent, the concentration of O2 in the atmosphere is a known constant.
I'm with you on this one, TBerk.

Is the WIRE really adding value via exposure to outside air  OR  is the
O2 sensor built with little ports or holes that allow for the sensors'
element to have an Exhaust vs Atmosphere reading?

I have trouble with the idea the WIRE needs atmosphere exposure. Don't
believe it.  It's my conjecture a crimp on is easier and makes economic
sense.
