  • Patent number: 10060815
    Abstract: In a pressure sensor having a configuration in which strain gauges are provided on a diaphragm, a change in sensor characteristic caused by a positional shift of the strain gauges is suppressed, and a change in sensor output in response to a change in temperature is suppressed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.

  • Patent number: 9835508
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to realize a pressure sensor with a small variation in sensor characteristics. The pressure sensor includes a diaphragm having longitudinal and lateral sides, and four strain gauges disposed on the diaphragm. The four strain gauges are arranged at a center of the diaphragm. Two of the four strain gauges are arranged along a lateral direction, and other two strain gauges are arranged along a longitudinal direction.
