Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor element for detecting pressures or forces. The sensor element (10) includes a sensor diaphragm (13), on the diaphragm outer side (20) of which piezoresistive measuring elements (8) are located. The sensor diaphragm (13) of the sensor element (10) is diametrically opposed to a sealing surface (15, 16) for sealing off the sensor element (10) from a housing. A force introduction region (23, 24) for introducing a force which produces a seal is mechanically decoupled from the sensor diaphragm (13) of the sensor element (10).
