- the second electrode for ion current detection 33 ⁇ is connected to a second connection 17 at the end of the heating element 5 remote from the combustion chamber.
- the first connection 15 and the second connection 17 are guided through the connection bolt 19 to the end of the glow plug remote from the combustion chamber.
- the first supply layer 7 is connected to the connecting bolt 19 by means of a third connection 37.
