A sensor package includes a pressure sensor, a computation unit that performs specified computation in accordance with a result of detection performed by the pressure sensor, a lead frame through which a result of computation performed by the computation unit is output to an outside, a main housing that is formed of resin and that holds the lead frame, and a sensor housing that is formed of ceramic and that has an inner space in which the pressure sensor is disposed. The pressure sensor is disposed in the main housing using the sensor housing.

Sensor package

A first sealing layer having a frame-like shape and a first contact layer are formed on a back surface of a frame portion of a sensor substrate. The first contact layer is separated from the first sealing layer, extends through a functional member and an insulation layer, and is electrically connected to the functional member and a first base member. A second sealing layer and a second contact layer are formed on a surface of a wiring substrate. The second sealing layer faces the first sealing layer. The second contact layer is separated from the second sealing layer, extends through the insulation layer, and is electrically connected to the second base member. The sealing layers are eutectically bonded to each other. The contact layers are electrically connected to each other, and thereby the first and second base members and the frame portion have the same potential.

A magnetic head for a video tape recorder including a mounting base and two transducer elements comprised of a pair of core tips mounted to one end of the mounting base with a small non-transducing gap defined between the core tips. Each of the core tips has a tape sliding surface on which a magnetic tape is slidingly traveled. A radius of curvature R (mm) of the tape sliding surface and a distance W (mm) between the tape sliding surfaces are so set as to satisfy the conditions of 19.5-20W .ltoreq.R.ltoreq.21.5-20W and 0.15.ltoreq.W.ltoreq.0.45. Accordingly, a quantity of sinking of the magnetic tape at the gap between both the core tips is limited to thereby reduce a noise in a special reproducing operation such as a reverse video search operation.
