Abstract

An acceleration sensor includes a circuit substrate and an acceleration detection element. The acceleration detection element is mounted on the circuit substrate and formed by using a piezoelectric body and is constructed so as to detect an acceleration which acts in a shearing direction. An electrode formed on the circuit substrate and an electrode on the bottom surface of the acceleration detection element are bonded together via a conductive bonding material so that they do not have direct contact with each other.
