Annular members having an aluminum base body coated with an insulation film formed by hard alumite processing are used as spacers (42A) alternately arrayed with flat-ring-shaped electrodes (41) along an axis (C). The insulation film provides electrical insulation between the electrodes (41) neighboring each other. This film is omitted on one side of the spacer (42A) so that the base body of this spacer is in contact with and electrically connected to one of the two electrodes (41) between which the spacer (42A) is sandwiched. Voltages applied to the electrodes (41) give specific potentials to the spacers (42A), thereby enabling the spacers (42A) to serve as a shield electrode which reduces the influence of an external electric field on an electric field within a drift unit (4). The use of such spacers decreases the cost of an ion transport device used for a drift region in an ion mobility spectrometer.
