PURPOSE: To provide a pressure sensor with excellent pressure detection accuracy in the pressure sensor using a strain sensitive resistor.
CONSTITUTION: A pressure sensor is equipped with a base body 10 which is made into the shape of a circular diaphragm whose rim portion 11 is held and deforms under a pressure to be measured, a strain sensitive resistor R10 which is arranged at a portion except the rim portion 11 of the base body 10, and a pair of electrodes D10 which face mutually and are arranged on the base body 10 so as to touch the strain sensitive resistor R10. On an opposite face to a face on which the strain sensitive resistor R10 and the electrodes D10 are arranged, a narrower slot-like recessed portion 14 than the distance between the electrodes D10 is formed between the electrodes D10 so as to cross the strain sensitive resistor R10.
