The torque sensor includes a detection unit for detecting the magnetic transition through a through hole formed so as to penetrate a radial-side surface of the housing; a housing chamber formed to be raised outward in a radial direction from an outer circumferential surface of the housing so that the through hole opens into the housing chamber accommodating the detection unit; a communication hole provided so as to extend in the tangential direction with respect to an outer circumference of the housing, the communication hole making an outside of the housing and an inside of the housing chamber communicate with each other; and an output terminal fitted into the communication hole and connected to the detection unit in a tilting state, the output terminal being configured to output a signal to the outside on the basis of a detected signal.
