Claim 0:
1. An electronic pen cartridge that is replaceable and constitutes an electronic pen by being attached to a cylindrical outer housing having a hollow portion inside, the electronic pen cartridge comprising:
an inner housing that is cylindrical;
a circuit board housed in the inner housing;
a pen pressure detector provided in the inner housing on a side of the inner housing adjacent to a pen tip;
a core body that is rod-shaped and presses the pen pressure detector;
a coil provided at a position closer to the pen tip than the inner housing and having a first end and a second end connected to the circuit board;
a first conductive wire extending from an end of the coil; and
a second conductive wire extending from a circuit on the circuit board,
wherein at least the coil is covered with a sealing portion made of resin,
wherein the sealing portion includes a rod-shaped connector on a rear end face of the inner housing for connecting to an inside of the outer housing,
wherein the coil is provided in an intermediate portion excluding a first non-winding portion and a second non-winding portion of a side surface of a ferrite core, the first non-winding portion of the ferrite core having a fixed range from a first end of a ferrite core toward a second end of a ferrite core in a longitudinal direction of the side surface of the ferrite core, the second non-winding portion of the ferrite core having a fixed range from the second end of the ferrite core toward the first end of the ferrite core, the ferrite core having a cylindrical body having a through hole through which the core body penetrates, and
wherein the sealing portion constitutes a tip unit covering the coil, part of the first non-winding portion of the ferrite core on a side of the ferrite core adjacent to the coil, and an entirety of the second non-winding portion of the ferrite core, and having a joint behind the second non-winding portion of the ferrite core, the joint having a through hole through which the core body penetrating the through hole of the ferrite core penetrates, and a first thread for connection to the inner housing,
wherein a connecting portion having a second thread corresponding to the first thread of the joint is formed in an opening of the inner housing on the side of the inner housing adjacent to the pen tip in the inner housing, and enables connection of the tip unit formed by the sealing portion covering the coil and the ferrite core,
wherein the first conductive wire is connected to a first electrode provided on an end face of the joint,
wherein the second conductive wire is connected to a second electrode provided on an end face of the connecting portion, and
wherein, in operation, the first electrode provided on the end face of the joint and the second electrode provided on the end face of the connecting portion contact each other.
