Abstract
A pressure sensor having a ceramic pressure sensing element including a bottom wall serving as a diaphragm, and a tubular wall which extends from a periphery of the bottom wall and cooperates with the bottom wall to define a cavity. The diaphragm has resistors formed thereon. The resistors are electrically connected to an external electric device by electrically conductive members. The sensing element is held in a housing by a retainer member such that one end of the retainer member is aligned with an end face of the tubular wall remote from the bottom wall. A biasing member is provided for biasing the retainer member toward the ceramic pressure sensing element, to exert a retaining force to the sensing element.
