Known capacitive pressure transducers comprise a wheatstone bridge connection in each branch of which there is a capacitance. Two of them are variable while the two others are arranged on a diaphragm in a casing. The chamber of the casing is subdivided by the diaphragm into a pair of compartments and each compartment is arranged for being connected to a system the pressure of which is to be measured. Such arrangement requires considerable space and is intricate to manipulate. Moreover, its output signals are of low level due to only one pair of capacitances being variable. This invention employs four variable capacitances distributed in the individual branches of a Wheatstone bridge connection for which purpose four electrodes are supported on opposite sides of the diaphragm. Further four electrodes are arranged within the casing opposite to the electrodes on the diaphragm. Thus, four variable capacitances are formed which are connected to form a wheatstone bridge connection. Deflections of the diaphragms caused by such pressure entail variations of the bridge capacitances and, thereby output voltage signals of increased strength on the bridge terminals.
