Abstract
A pressure-detecting device in which a pressure sensor unit having the same specifications can be used even when there are numerous different forms of an outside member to which connection leads of the pressure sensor unit are to be electrically connected. A pressure sensor unit has four connection leads exiting a sensor housing. A coupling member has a terminal holding part and a connector part molded integrally from an insulating material and having insert-molded coupling leads. The coupling leads have terminal plates, all exposed on the same side, and terminal pieces projecting outwardly. Multiple versions of the coupling member are made by integrally joining connector parts of different shapes to terminal holding parts all having terminal plates disposed in the same state. The pressure sensor unit is assembled to a coupling member selected from among these and the connection leads are electrically connected to an outside member by way of this coupling member.
