Abstract

A load detection apparatus includes an input member for receiving input of a load, a tubular body having a strain element configured to generate a strain due to the load inputted to the input member, a strain detection element fixed to a face of the strain element opposite its face that comes into contact with the input member, the strain detection element being configured to detect the strain generated in the strain element, a circuit board mounted to oppose the strain detection element in a tube axis direction of the tubular body, the circuit board being configured to input detection information of the strain detection element, and a connection member having a first connection portion to be electrically connected to the strain detection element and a second connection portion to be electrically connected to the circuit board.
