Abstract
A sensor unit attachable to a hole of a housing, closed by an overlay on one side in the first direction, from the other side in the first direction. The sensor unit includes a body, a sensor, a vibration generator, a vibration damper, and a fixable part. The body includes a first portion and a second portion on the other side in the first direction relative to the first portion. The sensor provided at the body detects a contact of a detection target with the overlay. The vibration generator can vibrate the body and sensor. The fixable part is provided at the second portion of the body. With the first portion accommodated in the hole, the fixable part is fixed to the housing from the other side in the first direction via the vibration damper, and the vibration damper is at least partly interposed between the fixable part and housing.
