Position detection sensor and method for manufacturing position detection sensor

A method of manufacturing a position detection sensor, comprising:

• disposing a plurality of electrode conductors including covered lead wires in a predetermined conductor pattern, including disposing respective ends of the covered lead wires of the plurality of electrode conductors while aligning the respective ends with corresponding ones of a plurality of terminal conductors of a terminal, to form a sensor pattern;
• pressing a substrate, with the plurality of the terminal conductors of the terminal formed thereon, against the sensor pattern, with an adhesive material therebetween, to bond the sensor pattern to the substrate;
• electrically connecting respective ends of the electrode conductors of the sensor pattern and the corresponding ones of the terminal conductors of the terminal;
• and
• removing a covering at ends of the covered lead wire of each of the plurality of electrode conductors, to expose portions of the lead wires, prior to the disposing of the plurality of electrode conductors,
• wherein the electrically connecting of the respective ends of the electrode conductors of the sensor pattern includes electrically connecting respective exposed portions of the lead wires and the corresponding ones of the plurality of terminal conductors of the terminal.

A method of manufacturing a position detection sensor, comprising:

• disposing a plurality of electrode conductors including covered lead wires in a region on a substrate having a terminal disposed therein, the terminal having a plurality of terminal conductors formed therein, the region being different from a region where the terminal is disposed, the plurality of electrode conductors being bonded to the substrate by an adhesive material to form a predetermined conductor pattern, the disposing including disposing respective ends of the electrode conductors while aligning the respective ends of the electrode conductors to be connectable with corresponding ones of the terminal conductors of the terminal, to form a sensor pattern;
• and
• electrically connecting respective ones of the terminal conductors of the terminal on the substrate and corresponding one of the ends of the electrode conductors of the sensor pattern;
• and
• removing a covering at ends of the covered lead wire of each of the plurality of electrode conductors, and exposing portions of the lead wires, prior to the disposing of the plurality of electrode conductors,
• wherein the electrically connecting of the respective ones of the terminal conductors of the terminal includes electrically connecting respective ones of the terminal conductors of the terminal and corresponding ones of the exposed portions of the lead wires of the plurality of electrode conductors of the sensor pattern.
