Abstract:
1. A sensor module, comprising: a flexible substrate extending in one direction; a signal processing device installed on a front-end portion of the flexible substrate; and a sensor element for converting a measured volume from a measuring target to an analog signal, the signal processing device including a connection terminal connected to the sensor element for receiving the analog signal output from the sensor element, an A/D conversion chip connected to the connection terminal for converting the analog signal received by the connection terminal from the sensor element to a digital signal, and a digital IC connected to the A/D conversion chip for encrypting the digital signal output from the A/D conversion chip, wherein the connection terminal, the A/D conversion chip, and the digital IC are installed on the front-end portion of the flexible substrate in a state of being arranged in the one direction, and the front-end portion of the flexible substrate is folded between the connection terminal and the A/D conversion chip and is accommodated in a housing with a predetermined capacity in a state of being folded between the connection terminal and the A/D conversion chip, and the connection terminal, the A/D conversion chip, the digital IC, and the front-end portion of the flexible substrate are fixed to the housing by means of a solidification substance filled in the housing.
