CAPACITIVE PRESSURE SENSOR
First Claim
1. A capacitive pressure sensor comprising:
- a diaphragm that deforms under pressure;
an electrode member having an electrode face opposed to the diaphragm with a gap between the diaphragm and the electrode face;
a body having one end to which the diaphragm is joined, and accommodating at least a portion of the electrode member;
an insulating positioning member that is provided in the body, and positions at least the portion of the electrode member in the body; and
a pressing mechanism that is configured to hold and press the insulating positioning member or the electrode member in a direction parallel to the diaphragm.

Abstract
Provided is a capacitive pressure sensor that prevents the position of an electrode face in the direction parallel to a diaphragm from deviating from the position of the diaphragm, and accurately measures pressure. The capacitive pressure sensor includes: the diaphragm that deforms under pressure; an electrode member having the electrode face opposed to the diaphragm with a gap between the diaphragm and the electrode face; a body having one end to which the diaphragm is joined, and accommodating at least a portion of the electrode member; an insulating positioning member that is provided in the body and positions at least the portion of the electrode member in the body; and a pressing mechanism that holds and presses the insulating positioning member or the electrode member in the direction parallel to the diaphragm.
