Patent ID: 8549914

Claim:
A sensor structure comprising: a housing made of a first resin and including a connector for inputting and outputting a signal to and from an outside; a sensor for detecting a first physical quantity; and a sensor for detecting a second physical quantity, the sensors being mounted in the housing, wherein the sensor for detecting the second physical quantity is integrally formed with a sensor casing made of a second resin in such a manner that a plurality of input/output terminals electrically connected to the connector project from the sensor casing, the second resin has a linear expansion coefficient smaller than a linear expansion coefficient of the first resin, a chip-shaped electronic component external from the sensor casing is electrically connected to bridge the plurality of input/output terminals of the sensor casing, and the housing includes a space to be filled with a cast resin, the space being located beneath a junction between the chip-shaped electronic component and the input/output terminals.
