The strain gage 10 includes: a substrate 1 formed from a resin material: a resistor 2 provided on a surface of the substrate 1; and a fusion layer 4 provided on an opposite surface to the surface on which the resistor 2 is provided. The fusion layer 4 is a thermoplastic polyimide layer. There is provided the strain gage 10 that has a thickness of as thin as possible and that makes a manufacture process of a load sensor 100 simpler. |
