Abstract
A current sensor according to the present invention is provided with a U-shaped conductor through which current under measurement flows, a magnetic sensor disposed between two straight portions parallel to each other both of which form the U-shaped conductor, a magnetic material of surrounding shape which surrounds the two straight portions and the magnetic sensor and includes a convex opposed to the magnetic sensor and a supporting member for supporting the conductor, the magnetic sensor and the magnetic material so as to position ends of the conductor and terminals of the magnetic sensor at the same side with respect to the magnetic material.

A current sensor for sensing a current under measurement based upon a magnetic flux generated by said current under measurement, comprising:
- a U-shaped conductor through which said current under measurement flows;
- a magnetic sensor disposed between two straight portions parallel to each other both of which form said U-shaped conductor;
- a fence-shaped magnetic material for surrounding said two straight portions and said magnetic sensor, and is provided with a first convex opposed to said magnetic sensor;
- and
- a supporting member for supporting said conductor, said magnetic sensor and said magnetic material so as to position ends of said conductor and terminals of said magnetic sensor at the same side with respect to said magnetic material.
