Abstract: Pressure sensitive layers are disposed on respective resin films through electrodes to face each other, and include high conductivity flaky carbon particles and low conductivity amorphous-based carbon particles. The two kinds of carbon particles are bound together by a resin-system binder. Accordingly, when a pushing force is applied to the resin films, an average distance between the carbon particles is decreased to cause a tunnel conduction phenomenon, resulting in a decrease in conductive resistance between the electrodes. As a result, a pressure sensing property can be made gentle.

Abstract translation: 压敏层通过电极相对设置在相应的树脂膜上，并且包括高导电性片状碳颗粒和低导电性无定形碳颗粒。 两种碳颗粒通过树脂系粘合剂结合在一起。 因此，当向树脂膜施加推力时，碳粒子之间的平均距离减小，导致隧道传导现象，导致电极之间的导电电阻降低。 结果，可以使压力感测特性变得平缓。

Abstract: The present invention provides a pressure sensor module which is capable of restraining application of a pressure of increased magnitude to a connector, reducing the number of parts therefor and compacting a structure thereof. A connector body (3a) is provided on a base section thereof with a flange (3g). An annular support (4) which is made of a material hard to be deformed under a high pressure as compared with the connector body (3a) is provided with an annular engagement recess (4b). The annular support (4) is fitted on the connector body (3a) to engage the flange (3g) with the annular engagement recess (4b). The annular support (4) is contacted on one end surface (4a) thereof with a pressure non-sensing side insulating substrate (5a) of a pressure sensing element (5) outside the base section of the connector body (3a). A housing (7) includes a cylindrical engagement section (7g1), which is curled so as to surround an outer edge of an end surface (4c) of the annular support (4), to thereby accomplish engagement between the housing (7) and the annular support (4).

Abstract: A sensor unit is disclosed which is adapted to be used as a detector for a fuel gauge, an oil pressure gauge or the like for a vehicle. A variable resistor serving as a signal converting device is securely fitted at both ends thereof in board fixing grooves formed at a frame fixed on a fixing bracket, so that fixing of the variable resistor may be accomplished without using adhesives. Fixing and electrical connection of a connection conductor are attained by merely fitting the connection conductor in an extension restraining groove without soldering.
