Abstract
A fluid pressure sensor includes a body made of a soft magnetic material with a groove formed therein, and a coil is installed in the body in the groove. One magnetostrictive disc is placed on the body over the groove, and two non-magnetic discs are placed over the magnetostrictive disc. A casing is provided for accommodating the body carrying the coil, the magnetostrictive disc, and the non-magnetic discs, and it is closed by a lid member which has a surface for receiving a fluid pressure. A plurality of through holes are formed in the lid member within the fluid pressure receiving surface such that the through holes extend to the non-magnetic disc at position over the groove, whereby the magnetostrictive plate is partially distorted by the fluid pressure.
