1. An electrochemical gas sensor for detecting gaseous components in a gaseous environment with a disk-shaped measuring electrode, comprising:

  • a pot-shaped sensor housing having a sealing edge;

    a counterelectrode positioned within said sensor housing in electrical contact with said sensor housing;

    a pot-shaped cover including a cover edge projecting over said pot-shaped sensor housing;

    diffusion path means including an opening in said pot-shaped cover and a diffusion membrane;

    a measuring electrode including a contact surface forming a part of an electrode surface of said measuring electrode, said measuring electrode being positioned between said cover and said housing;

    a sealing ring positioned around said sealing edge of said pot-shaped sensor housing, said sealing ring establishing electrical insulation between said cover and said pot-shaped sensor housing upon a sealing clamping of said cover on said sealing edge;

    an electrolyte filled electrolyte space including an electrolyte impregnated wick including a wick disk positioned between said cover and said housing in contact with an electrolyte-side surface of said measuring electrode;

    said measuring electrode and said diffusion membrane each being formed as a disk and cooperating with a sealing disk and/or a pressing disk to form a disk stack, said wick disk being positioned adjacent an electrolyte side surface of said measuring electrode;

    a compression spring supported between said wick disk and said pot-shaped sensor housing to press said disk stack, said cover edge being in contact with said contact surface of said measuring electrode to form a contact point.
