PRESSURE DETECTION UNIT AND PRESSURE SENSOR USING SAME

The invention provides a pressure detection unit and a pressure sensor using the pressure detection unit, wherein the influence of static electricity is effectively suppressed, and the cost is reduced. In the pressure detection unit, a housing, which is provided in a pressure-receiving space and is formed of a conductive material, is provided with a bottomed cylinder part and a lid part that shields the open end of the bottomed cylinder part, a pressure detection device is disposed in an opening that communicates the inside and outside of the housing, and the housing is electrically connected to any one of terminal pins that are connected to external wiring. And the voltage is maintained at zero potential. Even if a liquid medium filled in a pressure-receiving space is charged due to an external environment, a pressure detection device is surrounded by a housing maintained at a zero potential, thereby avoiding the influence of charging and preventing the occurrence of output malfunction and the like due to th
