A spacer for a foreign object detection sensor including an elongated hollow sheath, two conductive members, and two core wires buried in the two conductive members, the spacer being used for a terminal portion of the foreign object detection sensor and including a first member including an insertion portion configured to be inserted into a space between the two conductive members, and a concave-shaped second member including a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion at which a locking portion is provided to be locked to a first end of the first member, the second end portion which is opposed to the locking portion and is connected to a second end of the first member via an integral hinge, the second member containing one of the two conductor portions inside a closed cross-section formed between the first member and the second member.
A spacer for a foreign object detection sensor that includes an elongated hollow sheath having insulating property and elasticity, two conductive members having conductivity and elasticity and extending along a longitudinal direction of the sheath while being separated from each other inside the sheath, and two core wires respectively buried in the two conductive members and that detects existence of a foreign object by the two core wires which are electrically connected to each other in association with elastic deformation of the sheath due to pressing force from the foreign object, the spacer that is used for a terminal portion of the foreign object detection sensor being molded by, while two exposed conductor portions of lead wires are respectively connected to the two core wires drawn out of an end portion of the sheath, setting a molding die in such a way as to cover the end portion of the sheath and the two conductor portions, and injecting and solidifying a melted molding material into the molding die, and electrically insulating the two conductor portions from each other, the spacer comprising:
