Abstract
Provided is a sensor which makes it easy to mount a cable to a circuit board. This sensor 1 is provided with: a circuit board 2; a connector 10 which is composed of a metal material and which is fixed to the circuit board 2; and a cable 3 which is connected to the circuit board 2 via the connector 10. The connector 10 has: a bottom part 11 that is connected to the circuit board 2; and a pair of pinching elements 12L, 12R that are raised upright from said bottom part 11. The cable 3 is held in a space S between the pair of pinching elements 12L, 12R.
Claims16
A sensor comprising:
- a circuit board;
- a connector which is composed of a metal material and which is fixed to the circuit board;
- and
- a cable which is connected to the circuit board via the connector,
- wherein the connector includes a bottom part connected to the circuit board and a pair of pinching elements raised upright from the bottom part, and
- wherein the cable is pinched in a space sandwiched by the pair of pinching elements.
A sensor manufacturing method comprising:
- a first step of forming a connector including a bottom part and a pair of pinching elements raised upright from the bottom part by a metal material;
- a second step of connecting the connector to a circuit board;
- and
- a third step of pressing a cable toward the bottom part and pinching the cable in a space sandwiched between the pair of pinching elements.
