Abstract:
1. A manufacturing method of a pressure sensitive sensor that includes a hollow dielectric body, which is elongated and is resiliently deformable, and a plurality of electrode wires, which are normally spaced from each other while being opposed to each other in an inside of the hollow dielectric body and are contactable with each other upon bending of at least one of the plurality of electrode wires caused by resilient deformation of the hollow dielectric body, the manufacturing method comprising: filling a molten dielectric resin material into a section of the inside of the hollow dielectric body, in which the plurality of electrode wires is installed, to provide a non-sensor portion in the section of the inside of the hollow dielectric body filled with the molten dielectric resin material; solidifying the molten dielectric resin material to form filler resin after the filling of the molten dielectric resin material, so that a sensor portion, in which the filler resin is not filled in the inside of the hollow dielectric body, and the non-sensor portion, in which the filler resin is filled in the inside of the hollow dielectric body, are formed; and installing a power supply connector having a plurality of electrically conductive terminals to one end part of the hollow dielectric body located at the non-sensor portion side such that the plurality of electrically conductive terminals is electrically connected to the plurality of electrode wires after the solidifying of the molten dielectric resin material.
