Abstract
A strain gauge includes: a flexible substrate; a resistor formed on one side of the substrate; a pair of terminal parts electrically connected to both ends of the resistor; and a plurality of resistance value tuning wires configured to tune the resistance value between the pair of terminal parts. In this strain gauge, the plan shape of the resistor is a spiral shape formed by two linear resistance wires about the halfway part of the two linear resistance wires, the two linear resistance wires being a predetermined space apart from each other and extending in the same direction from the halfway part, and the resistance value tuning wires are arranged discretely so as to bridge between the two linear resistance wires.
