Position pointer with connector that electrically connects first circuitry and second circuitry while first housing and second housing are mated to each other

Abstract

An electronic ink cartridge is provided, which improves the mass productivity of a position pointer and which ensures reliability of a characteristic of a pressure sensor to detect writing pressure. The electronic ink cartridge includes a core member provided so as to extend outwardly from a distal end portion of a tubular member in a direction of a center axis of the tubular member, a pressure sensor accommodated in a hollow portion of the tubular member to sense pressure applied to the core member, a connection member provided fixedly on the tubular member to interpose the pressure sensor between the connection member and the core member along the direction of the center axis of the tubular member, and a connection terminal, which is formed on a proximal end face of the connection member and from which an electric characteristic corresponding to the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor is extracted.
