in a glow plug-mounting hole 11 in the engine head, a hexagonal portion for screwing,
and an external connection terminal, is mounted in an internally threaded portion
15 in the mounting hole 11, wherein the external connection terminal is a pin terminal
109 that extends rearward in the axial direction, and the rear end of the pin terminal
