Abstract
A pressure detection device includes a sensing part that outputs an electrical signal responsive to an applied pressure, a pressure receiving diaphragm that receives a pressure from a subject device, a cylindrical stem having a first end connected to the sensing part and a second end connected to the pressure receiving diaphragm, and a pressure transmission member located within the cylindrical member to transmit the pressure received by the pressure receiving diaphragm to the sensing part. In the pressure detection device, a side wall portion of the cylindrical stem has a spring portion which is provided to generate an elastic force in an axial direction of the cylindrical member. Accordingly, fluctuations in a spring characteristic acting on a pressure transmission mechanism of the pressure detection device can be effectively restricted by the spring portion.
