A position indicator comprising: a housing having a first end part and a second end part; a capacitor having a capacitance that changes in correspondence to a force applied to the first end part of the housing, the capacitor being configured by a semiconductor element that includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed opposite to the first electrode at a predetermined distance from the first electrode to have a capacitance formed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the capacitance changes in correspondence to a change in a relationship between the first and second electrodes (1, 2) caused by the force applied to the first end part of the housing and transmitted to the first electrode; an inductance element that forms a resonant circuit together with the capacitor configured by the semiconductor element, wherein a resonant characteristic of the resonant circuit changes in correspondence to the force applied to the first end part of the housing; a pressure transmitting member that has predetermined elasticity and abuts on a surface of the first electrode so as to transmit the force to the first electrode of the semiconductor element; a pressing member (107, 112, 120) that is configured to transmit the force applied to the first end part of the housing to the pressure transmitting member having the predetermined elasticity; a package that includes a package member and that houses both the semiconductor element and the pressure transmitting member such that the surface of the first electrode is facing a top surface of the package; wherein the force applied to the first end part of the housing is transmitted to the pressure transmitting member having the predetermined elasticity by the pressing member (107, 112, 120) and is applied to the first electrode of the semiconductor element via the pressure transmitting member; characterised in that: the semiconductor element is disposed between the first end part of the housing and the inductance element in a longitudinal direction of the housing; and the pressure transmitting member is so disposed as to be packed in a recess of the package member. a housing having a first end part and a second end part; a capacitor having a capacitance that changes in correspondence to a force applied to the first end part of the housing, the capacitor being configured by a semiconductor element that includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed opposite to the first electrode at a predetermined distance from the first electrode to have a capacitance formed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the capacitance changes in correspondence to a change in a relationship between the first and second electrodes (1, 2) caused by the force applied to the first end part of the housing and transmitted to the first electrode; an inductance element that forms a resonant circuit together with the capacitor configured by the semiconductor element, wherein a resonant characteristic of the resonant circuit changes in correspondence to the force applied to the first end part of the housing; the semiconductor element is disposed between the first end part of the housing and the inductance element in a longitudinal direction of the housing; and the pressure transmitting member is so disposed as to be packed in a recess of the package member.
