A pressure sensor is composed of a pressure housing having a pressure chamber inside and a pressure sensitive element arranged in the pressure chamber, and a joint housing having a fluid passage for leading fluid into the pressure housing, wherein the pressure housing and the joint housing are jointed by brazing with an insulating member interposed at a joint section therebetween. A stress relieving member is interposed at least either between the metal housing and the insulating member or between the joint housing and the insulating member, so that the insulating member can be relieved of a stress which is caused by the braze jointing to act on the insulating member.
