Abstract
A sensor device includes: a sensor component including a package, connection terminals having first terminals on a terminal forming surface of the package, and a sensor element that has a detection axis and is housed in the package; a resin part covering the sensor component; and mounting leads, each of the mounting leads including, a one-end part formed by being folded so as to be coupled to one of the first connection terminals in the resin part so that a main surface of the one-end part and a main surface of the one of the first connection terminals face each other, an intermediate part extending toward a mounting surface of the sensor device from the one-end part, and an other-end part formed by being folded so as to be externally exposed from the resin part. In the device, the sensor component is tilted or orthogonal with respect to the mounting surface, and the connection terminals are provided along one of sides forming an outline of the terminal forming surface, the one side being tilted or orthogonal with respect to the mounting surface.
