2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in order to detect the wheel speed of a traveling vehicle, a wheel speed sensor attached to each wheel is
Rotation of a rotor that rotates integrally with an axle connected to a wheel is detected. The rotor contains a magnetic material, and a magnetic sensor such as a Hall IC or an MR element is used to detect the rotation of the rotor. However, if a magnetic sensor such as a Hall IC is provided directly on the axle portion of the traveling vehicle, there is a possibility that the stone may be damaged if it is hit by a stone.
It is easy to break the connection between the lead of the Hall IC and the electric wire. Therefore, in the wheel speed sensor, it has been conventionally practiced to mold a detection element such as a Hall IC with a synthetic resin including a connection portion with an electric wire to improve durability.

Even if the protrusion 64 of the terminal 36 and the terminal 36 are not completely in contact with each other, the welding for connecting the two can be easily performed, and stress is not applied to the connecting portion between the lead 34 and the terminal 36, so that a strong connection can be performed.

According to the wheel speed sensor of the present invention, the holder is formed with the detection element fitting portion into which the detection element is fitted and the terminal fitting portion into which the terminal is fitted, and the detection element fitting portion and the terminal fitting portion are formed. The mating part is arranged so that when the detection element and the terminal are fitted, the leads of the detection element are in contact with or close to the prescribed parts of the terminal. It is possible to improve attachability and production efficiency. It is also possible to fit the detection element and the terminal in the holder and then connect the lead and the predetermined part of the terminal by connecting means such as welding or soldering, so connect the lead of the detection element and the terminal first. The stress is less likely to be applied to the lead of the detection element and the terminal than the conventional technique of storing the lead in the storage unit afterwards, and the reliability of the connection between the lead of the detection element and the terminal is improved.
