  • Patent number: 12484449
    Abstract: In a sensor device, a sensor unit and a wiring portion are connected. The sensor unit is configured as a sol-gel composite piezoelectric sensor including a base material layer, a piezoelectric film layer formed on the base material layer, an electrode layer formed on the piezoelectric film layer, and a protective layer. The base material layer and the electrode layer are covered by the protective layer except for a portion thereof. The wiring portion includes a signal line and a ground line. The signal line has an end having a pressure-bonding tip. An upper housing portion and a lower housing portion cover at least uncovered portions of the sensor unit and the wiring portion. A pressure-applying portion presses the pressure-bonding tip in contact with a portion of the electrode layer that is not covered by the protective layer, so as to pressure-bond them.
