Abstract
To provide a mounting arrangement of acceleration detecting elements capable of detecting acceleration over a wide range with as few elements as possible and having substantially the same detection sensitivity with regard to acceleration operating in any direction of orthogonal coordinate axes, two acceleration detecting elements are disposed on an element attaching surface defining x-y plane in an x-y-z orthogonal coordinate system, such that orientations of the two acceleration detecting elements are along the x axis and y axis on the element attaching surface, a maximum sensitivity direction of one of the two acceleration detecting elements being inclined from the y axis toward the z axis by 40.degree. to 50.degree. and a maximum sensitivity direction of the other of the acceleration detecting elements being inclined from the x axis to the z axis by 40.degree.to 50.degree..
