1. A sensor comprising:
a cylindrical-shaped housing which has an opening formed at one end;
an electronic component which is housed in the housing;
a cylindrical-shaped clamp of which one end is inserted into the housing from the opening; and
a sealing resin which seals a gap between an inner wall of the housing and an outer wall of the clamp,
wherein on the outer wall, the clamp has a rib which rises towards the inner wall of the housing,
the rib comprises an apex and a sloped surface which extends from the apex towards another end of the clamp and which intersects the outer wall of the clamp, and
the sealing resin, which exudes from between the inner wall of the housing and the apex and which is positioned on the sloped surface, and is stopped between the inner wall of the housing and the sloped surface of the rib due to the surface tension, and the sealing resin has a recessed shape at a position where the sealing resin stopped between the inner wall of the housing and the sloped surface of the rib.
