Abstract (en)

[Objective] To provide a glow plug capable of facilitating transfer of heat from a heating element to a tube. [Means for Solution] A heating element is electrically connected to a front end of a metal center rod, and a metal tube having a closed front end houses the heating element and a front side of the center rod. The heating element is electrically connected to the tube. Insulating powder is filled in the tube. In a volume-based particle size distribution measured by a laser diffraction method, a particle group in the insulating powder, which is disposed at a position corresponding to the heating element, has at least one maximum value of frequency of 6% or greater in a range of particle sizes of 12 µm or greater, and the particle group has only frequencies of 2.5 to 6% in a range of particle sizes of 4 to 8 µm.
