Pressure sensitive sensor and method of treating terminal of pressure sensitive sensor

A method of treating a terminal of a pressure sensitive sensor, the pressure sensitive sensor including:

• a hollow outer skin portion having insulating performance and deformable by an external force from outside;
• and a plurality of electrodes arranged to be opposed to each other via an air gap on an inner side of the hollow outer skin portion, the pressure sensitive sensor detecting an external force when at least one of the plurality of electrodes is elastically deformed together with the outer skin portion by the external force applied to the outer skin portion from outside and the deformed electrode is brought into contact with other of the plurality of electrodes, the method being for treating one-side ends of the plurality of electrodes drawn out from an end portion of the outer skin portion, said method comprising:
• (a) a connecting step of making a support member support the one-side ends of the plurality of electrodes for electrically connecting the electrodes to each other or the electrodes to other conductive member;
• and
• (b) a covering portion molding step of forming a covering portion for embedding and sealing at least a portion of the support member and the one-side ends of the electrodes by arranging at least the portion of the support member and the one-sides of the electrodes in a covering portion molding die and filling a photo-curing resin material cured by absorbing a light energy or a thermoplastic resin material molded by hot melt molding in the covering portion molding die.
