A magnetic detection device of the present invention includes at least one pair of first magnetosensitive bodies each comprising a soft magnetic material extending in a first axis direction and being sensitive to an external magnetic field oriented in the first axis direction; and a magnetic field direction changer comprising a soft magnetic material and changing an external magnetic field oriented in a different axis direction from the first axis direction into a measurement magnetic field having a component in the first axis direction which can be detected by the at least one pair of first magnetosensitive bodies. With this magnetic detection device, the external magnetic field oriented in the different axis direction can be detected by way of the first magnetosensitive bodies. As a result, while attaining magnetic detection with high accuracy, the magnetic detection device can be reduced in size or thickness by omitting a magnetosensitive body extending long in the different axis direction.

A production method for making a strong connection between an amorphous wire and a terminal. The amorphous wire is placed between the terminal and a bonding metal of aluminum or aluminum alloy, with the bonding metal in contact with both the amorphous metal and the terminal. Then, ultrasonic vibration is applied through the bonding metal to make the connection between the bonding metal and the terminal.

The magneto-sensitive wire of the invention has a vortex-spin structure and hence includes no magnetic domain walls, so that the magneto-sensitive wire of the invention has an excellent hysteresis characteristic exhibiting nearly zero hysteresis. Therefore, the linearity related to the output voltage characteristic for the applied magnetic field in the determination range of an MI sensor is significantly improved as compared to MI sensors using the conventional magneto-sensitive wires. Using the magneto-sensitive wire of the invention makes it possible to provide a magneto-impedance (MI) element exhibiting a higher precision than the conventional ones and further provide a sensor using such an MI element.

A magneto-impedance element includes a magnetic sensitive member having a form of a line, whose electromagnetic characteristics vary depending on an external magnetic field, a pulse current flowing from one to another end portion thereof in an axial direction. A conductive layer is arranged on an insulating layer provided on an outer surface of the magnetic sensitive member. A connection portion, electrically connecting the magnetic sensitive member and the conductive layer, is arranged on the other end portion in the axial direction of the magnetic sensitive member. A detection coil, outputting an induced voltage corresponding to an intensity of an external magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensitive member when the pulse current flows in the magnetic sensitive member, is wounded around the conductive layer. A direction of the pulse currents flowing in the magnetic sensitive member and in the conductive layer are opposite each other.

An MI sensor element 1 includes a substrate 4 formed of a non-magnetic material, a plurality of magneto-sensitive bodies 2, and a plurality of detecting coils 3. The plurality of magneto-sensitive bodies 2 are formed of an amorphous material, and are fixed on the substrate 4, and are electrically connected to each other. The detecting coils 3 are wound around each of the magneto-sensitive bodies 2, and are electrically connected to each other. The MI sensor element 1 outputs a voltage corresponding to a magnetic field strength acting on the magneto-sensitive bodies 2 from the detecting coil 3 by flowing a pulse current or a high-frequency current to the magneto-sensitive body 2. The plurality of magneto-sensitive bodies 2 are formed by fixing one amorphous wire 20 on the substrate 4, and then cutting the wire.
