Abstract
A molding process is performed by molds such that a primarily molded body 12 mounted with a detecting element 11 for detecting a vehicle condition is subjected to a secondary molding process, and that a hollow portion 19 within a connector housing portion 15 to be formed by the secondary molding process is penetrated to the face area of the primarily molded body 12 corresponding to the position of the detecting element 11.
Claims11
A vehicle condition detection device comprising:
- a secondary molded body including a connector housing portion integrally formed with a device fastening portion;
- a detecting element mounted on a lead frame;
- and
- a resin-molded primary molded body, which is molded around the detecting element and the lead frame,
- wherein the secondary molded body encases the primary molded body and supports one end of the primary molded body in such manner that a face area of the primary molded body corresponding to a position of the detecting element is interposed in a hollow portion within the connector housing portion.
