CURRENT SENSOR
First Claim
1. A current sensor comprising:
- a core formed by U-shaped flat plates made of a magnetic body and stacked together;
a flat plate-like conductor which is inserted on an interior side of a U-groove of the core and through which a current to be measured flows;
a detection element which is arranged on the side of an opening of the U-groove in such a way that a detecting direction extends in a spacing direction of the opening, and which detects a strength of a magnetic field;
a housing which supports the core, the conductor and the detection element; and
a pair of spacing direction supporting portions which are provided at positions along the spacing direction on both sides of the detection element, in an opening-side end of the core, and which abut on the housing.
