In an accelerometer in which a frame (11) supporting a pendulum (12) through hinges (13) is held between a pair of opposed housings (15A,15B) and a displacement of the pendulum (12) is detected as changes in electrostatic capacitances between electrodes (23A,23B) formed on both sides of the pendulum (12) and electrodes surfaces (15Ac,15Bc) formed integrally with the housings (15A,15B) in opposing relation to the electrodes (23A,23B), respectively, a C-shaped outer ring (31) having a slit (31S) formed in its periphery is mounted around the housings (15A,15B) and bonded thereto by a conductive adhesive to provide conduction between the housings (15A,15B). The configuration of the outer ring (31) effectively prevents thermal stress form being produced in the outer ring (31), suppressing development of cracks in the conductive adhesive which causes changes in the conduction between the housings (15A,15B). <IMAGE> |
