    Abstract: It is an object to provide a flow rate sensor device having improved sensor responsiveness compared with the prior art. The present invention is a flow rate sensor device including a sensor element that detects a flow rate; a unit body including a sensor unit in which the sensor element is mounted, and a case accommodating the unit body, wherein the sensor unit is supported away from a bottom surface of the case. In this way, the sensor unit is supported to float upward from the bottom surface of the case, and a space is provided between the sensor unit and the bottom surface. Therefore, heat caused in the sensor unit can be separated from outside, and good sensor responsiveness can be maintained.
