A pressure sensor includes a housing, a pressure input orifice opened on a pipe sleeve formed on the housing, a diaphragm that seals the pressure input orifice and has one face as a pressure receiving face, a force transmitting unit connected to a central area of the other face of the diaphragm in the housing, and a pressure sensitive element whose detection direction of a force is a detection axis. A displacement direction and the detection axis of the force transmitting unit are roughly orthogonal to the pressure receiving face. One end and the other end of the pressure sensitive element are respectively fixed to the housing and the force transmitting unit with an adhesive therebetween, and the adhesive is an inorganic adhesive.
