Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to improve the resistance of a sensor device to external damage. A sensor device includes a sensor element, and a resin cover part that covers the sensor element, wherein at least a portion of a surface of the resin cover part is cross-linked.

Claims (10)

1. A sensor device comprising:

a sensor element; and

a resin cover part that covers the sensor element, wherein the resin cover part includes (i) a primary molded part that holds the sensor element, and (ii) a secondary molded part that covers the primary molded part,

wherein at least a portion of a surface of the resin cover part is cross-linked and at least a portion of a surface of the secondary molded part is cross-linked.

2. The sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least a portion of the surface of the resin cover part is electron beam cross-linked.

3. The sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least a portion of the surface of the resin cover part has the highest crosslink density.

4. The sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein the primary molded part includes a rib portion that protrudes toward the secondary molded part, anda portion that extends from the at least a portion of the surface of the secondary molded part to a leading end of the rib portion is cross-linked.

5. The sensor device according to claim 4 , wherein the secondary molded part has a hole extending from the surface of the secondary molded part to the primary molded part, and

the rib portion includes an annular rib portion that surrounds the hole.

6. The sensor device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least a portion of the surface of the resin cover part has the highest crosslink density.
