    Abstract: A current sensor includes an electrical-conduction member, a magnetoelectric converter, and a shield. The shield includes a first shield and a second shield each having a plate shape. The first shield and the second shield being arranged such that surfaces are opposed to and spaced away from each other. A part of the electrical-conduction member and the magnetoelectric converter are located between the surface of the first shield and the surface of the second shield. The part of the electrical-conduction member extends in an extension direction that is along the surface of the first shield. At least one of the first shield and the second shield has an anisotropy in magnetic permeability in which the magnetic permeability in a lateral direction that is along the surface of the first shield and perpendicular to the extension direction is higher than the magnetic permeability in the extension direction.

    Abstract: A position sensor includes a detector and a signal processor. The detector includes: a sensor chip having a surface; a first detection element disposed at the surface of the sensor chip; and a second detection element disposed at the surface of the sensor chip. The signal processor processes a signal input from the detector. The first detection element outputs a first detection signal corresponding to a position of a detection target, based on a change in a magnetic field received from the detection target. The second detection element outputs a second detection signal corresponding to the position of the detection target, based on the change in the magnetic field received from the detection target. A center of balance of the first detection element coincides with a center of balance of the second detection element.

    Abstract: A current sensor includes a plurality of individual sensors and a wiring case. Each of the individual sensors includes an electrical-conduction member through which a measurement current to be measured flows, a magnetoelectric converter and an insulating sensor housing. The magnetoelectric converter converts a measurement magnetic field caused by a flow of the measurement current into an electric signal. The sensor housing accommodates the electrical-conduction member and the magnetoelectric converter therein. The wiring case is larger than the sensor housing. The wiring case includes an insulating integrated housing in which the plurality of individual sensors is fixed, and an input/output wiring disposed in the integrated housing and electrically connected to the megnetoelectric converter of each of the plurality of individual sensors.

    Abstract: A position sensor includes a detector and a signal processor. The detector includes a magnet generating a bias magnetic field and a detection element configured to be applied by the bias magnetic field, and generates plural detection signals including distinct phase difference and corresponding to plural ranges aligned in one direction along a movement direction of a detection target, based on a change in a magnetic field received by the detection element from the detection target with a movement of the detection target having a magnetic body. The signal processor acquires the detection signals from the detector, compares the detection signals with a threshold value, and specifies a position of the detection target as a position at one of the ranges based on a combination of magnitude relation between the detection signals and the threshold value.
