Abstract

A proximity sensor in which generation of voids in a resin sealing portion sealing an inside of a housing can be suppressed and thus a yield is improved. The proximity sensor includes a housing, a detection coil, a circuit board and a resin sealing portion. The circuit board is accommodated in the housing to partition an internal space of the housing, and the resin sealing portion covers at least a part of the circuit board by filling the internal space of the housing and thus seals a covered portion of the circuit board. A resin injection port configured to inject a liquid resin forming the resin sealing portion by curing the liquid resin is provided in the housing, and a cutout portion having a notch shape or an opening shape is provided in the circuit board to include at least a part of a portion facing the resin injection port.
