Abstract

According to one embodiment, a vibration detecting device includes a housing, a vibration sensor in the housing, a circuit board in the housing, a flexible wiring component, a first face, and a second face. The vibration sensor is housed in the housing. An electric component that processes a detection signal of the vibration sensor is provided on the circuit board. The wiring component electrically connects the vibration sensor and the circuit board. The first face is provided on the housing and is configured to be attached to an object. The second face is provided inside the housing and is inclined with respect to the first face, the vibration sensor being attached thereto.
