Abstract

A capacitance-type pressure sensor unit capable of being assembled without applying a pressure at an increased level to a circuit board. A connector body (6) has a base (6b) received in a peripheral wall section (13b) of a receiving casing (13) constituting a main body of the casing (13) and fixed to an end (13e) of the peripheral wall section (13b) by caulking. A pressure sensor element (3) constituted of a first insulating substrate (1) and a second insulating substrate (2) is arranged in a bottom wall section (13a) of the receiving casing (13) and a fluid chamber (15) into which pressure measured fluid is introduced is defined between a rear surface of the first insulating substrate (1) and the bottom wall section (13a). A circuit board (9) received in a circuit component receiving chamber (7) defined in the base (6b) of the connector body (6) is supported by connection conductors (8) for connection of a connector (5), metal terminal fitments (19) for electrically connecting output electrodes (2c) of the pressure sensor element (3) to a circuit board (9) and a ground terminal fitment (22) for electrically connecting a ground electrode of the circuit board (9) to the receiving casing (13) while being suspended in the chamber (7).
