Abstract

A sensor device includes a first pair of connection terminals extended from a first sensor and a second pair of connection terminals extended from a second sensor. A first negative connection terminal that is a negative connection terminal of the first pair of connection terminals and a second negative connection terminal that is a negative connection terminal of the second pair of connection terminals are electrically connected to each other.

Claims (39)

1. A cable with a sensor device, comprising:

a first pair of connection terminals extended from a first sensor;

a second pair of connection terminals extended from a second sensor; and

one electric wire comprising a center conductor and an insulator covering around the center conductor and being connected to a first negative connection terminal and a second negative connection terminal,

wherein the first negative connection terminal comprises a negative connection terminal of the first pair of connection terminals and the second negative connection terminal comprises a negative connection terminal of the second pair of connection terminals, and are electrically connected to each other,

wherein the second sensor is arranged to be opposite to the first sensor in a plane including the first pair of connection terminals,

wherein the first negative connection terminal and the second negative connection terminal are arranged to be adjacent each other,

wherein a connection member is provided to electrically connect the first negative connection terminal, the second negative connection terminal and the center conductor, and

wherein the center conductor is arranged between the first negative connection terminal and the second negative connection terminal on the connection member.

2. A composite cable configured to be used as the cable with a sensor device according to claim 1 , comprising:

the one electric wire configured to connect with the first negative connection terminal and the second negative connection terminal; and

a pair of large diameter electric wires each having a diameter larger than a diameter of the one electric wire.

3. The cable with a sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first negative connection terminal includes a tip end connected to the connection member; and

the second negative connection terminal includes a tip end connected to the connection member.

4. A cable with a sensor device comprising:

a first pair of connection terminals extended from a first sensor;

a second pair of connection terminals extended from a second sensor; and

one electric wire comprising a center conductor and an insulator covering around the center conductor and being connected to a first negative connection terminal and a second negative connection terminal,

wherein the first negative connection terminal comprises a negative connection terminal of the first pair of connection terminals and the second negative connection terminal comprises a negative connection terminal of the second pair of connection terminals, and are electrically connected to each other,

wherein a first positive connection terminal that comprises a positive connection terminal of the first pair of connection terminals and the second negative connection terminal are arranged to be adjacent each other,

wherein the first negative connection terminal and the second negative connection terminal are provided as separate members, and

wherein a jumper member is provided for connecting the first negative connection terminal and the second negative connection terminal while jumping over the first positive connection terminal.

5. The cable with a sensor device according to claim 4 , wherein the jumper member includes:

a first connection portion connected to the first negative connection terminal;

a second connection portion connected to the second negative connection terminal; and

an intermediate portion provided between the first connection portion and the second connection portion.

6. A cable with a sensor device comprising:

a first pair of connection terminals extended from a first sensor;

a second pair of connection terminals extended from a second sensor; and

one electric wire comprising a center conductor and an insulator covering around the center conductor and being connected to a first negative connection terminal and a second negative connection terminal,

wherein the first negative connection terminal comprises a negative connection terminal of the first pair of connection terminals and the second negative connection terminal comprises a negative connection terminal of the second pair of connection terminals, and are electrically connected to each other,

wherein the first sensor is stacked on the second sensor, and

wherein the first negative connection terminal and the second negative connection terminal are integrated by plane contacting each other, and

wherein the center conductor contacts with the first negative connection terminal or the second negative connection terminal.

7. The cable with a sensor device according to claim 6 , further comprising:

an insulating member provided between a first positive connection terminal that comprises a positive connection terminal of the first pair of connection terminals and a second positive connection terminal that comprises a positive connection terminal of the second pair of connection terminals, which is not to electrically connect the first positive connection terminal and the second positive connection terminal.

8. The cable with a sensor device according to claim 6 , wherein the first negative connection terminal and the second negative connection terminal are integrated by a bottom surface of the first negative connection terminal and a top surface of the second negative connection terminal contacting each other.

9. The cable with a sensor device according to claim 6 , wherein the center conductor contacts with a bottom surface of the second negative connection terminal.
