Abstract:
1. A pressure sensor having an integrated temperature sensor, comprising: a case; terminals assembled to the case by insert molding and connectable to an external device; a pressure sensing element for detecting a pressure, the pressure sensing element electrically connected to the terminals and housed in the case; a port having a pressure receiving hole through which a pressure transmitting medium is led to the pressure sensing element, and connected to the case; and a temperature sensing element for detecting a temperature of the pressure transmitting medium, the temperature sensing element electrically connected to the terminals and arranged in the pressure receiving hole, wherein the terminals have parts that are passed through the pressure receiving hole and extended to the temperature sensing element, the extended parts of the terminals are formed as insert molding portions of the case and held with a material forming the case, and the extended parts of the terminals are electrically connected to the temperature sensing element.
