Abstract
A detection device includes a conductive member, a facing member, and a sensor portion. The conductive member is provided to be conductive to a grounded member having a ground potential. The sensor portion includes a sensor element, a sensor main body, and a grounded terminal. The sensor element is disposed in a sensor placement region which is located between the conductive member and the facing member and in which a distance between the conductive member and the facing member is shortest. The conductive member is provided to be conductive to the grounded terminal or a grounded wiring portion connected to the grounded terminal in a conductive region different from the sensor placement region. Accordingly, static electricity and noise escape to the grounded member without passing through the sensor main body. Therefore, damage to and malfunction of the sensor are restricted.
