Inductive sensor and brake pedal device

An inductive sensor for detecting a position of a detection object relative to a fixed body, the detection object either being (i) a rotating body rotatably provided about a predetermined axis relative to the fixed body or (ii) a movable body moving in accordance with a movement of the rotating body, the inductive sensor comprising:

• a circuit board fixed to the fixed body, the circuit board being implemented with a transceiver coil including a transmitter coil and a receiver coil, and a transceiver circuit that supplies a high frequency wave to the transmitter coil and outputs a signal corresponding to a change in inductance of the receiver coil;
• and
• multiple targets configured to include a conductor and to move in synchronization with a movement of the detection object, wherein
• the multiple targets include at least a first target and a second target separated from the first target,
• the transceiver coil has at least (i) a first transceiver coil that outputs a detection value corresponding to a position of the first target, and (ii) a second transceiver coil that outputs a detection value corresponding to a position of the second target,
• a surface of the first target facing the first transceiver coil and a surface of the second target facing the second transceiver coil are arranged on a first virtual plane at positions separated from the predetermined axis, and
• the first transceiver coil and the second transceiver coil provided in the circuit board are arranged on a second imaginary plane parallel to the first imaginary plane.
