ABSTRACT:
A collision detection device is provided with a load detection member2for detecting a collision load in a collision, and a mold member3which is molded to be integral with the load detection member2.The mold member3covers at least the surface of a collision side of the load detection member2,to absorb at least a part of impact energy in the collision by a resilient deformation of the mold member3.Thus, the collision detection device is substantially resistant to an impact in the collision, while being simply manufactured.
