  A clip included in an electrostatic induction detector such as a phase detector or a voltage detector is provided with a sensor electrode for detecting electric charge from a measured conductor to be detected by electrostatic induction. This type of clip has a structure in which one side clip part and the other side clip part can be opened and closed in order to hold the conductor to be measured by using a support shaft with a torsion coil spring having a substantially V shape. Yes, the holding portions facing each other in the pair of clip portions are normally closed, and the measured conductor is pinched. In addition, voltage sensors are individually arranged inside each holding portion, and when the conductor to be measured is held, charges can be detected by electrostatic induction (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

  Each of the voltage sensors in the clip of the electrostatic induction detector includes a sensor electrode piece arranged on the side of the conductor to be measured and a sensor electrode piece for shielding disturbance electrostatic induction generated from other close AC circuits. It is formed by combining a shield electrode piece arranged in the vicinity of the outside with an insulating layer coated with an insulating paint and an insulating material such as an insulating film or an insulating tape interposed therebetween. Yes. For the sensor electrode piece and the shield electrode piece, for example, a plate-like conductive metal material such as a copper plate formed by using a molding technique such as pressing or machining is used.

  In addition, in a conventional phase detector, a voltage detection electrode and a current detection electrode are enclosed in an annular molded body, the voltage detection electrode is disposed inside the current detection electrode, and between them. Some have a shielding layer (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

The surface portion is formed in a state of being connected to the first land 36.

  Further, the back conductive layer 335 formed by attaching a copper foil layer to the outer surface of the back substrate layer 334b, which is the back layer of the printed wiring board 32, is different from the surface conductive layer 331a of the printed wiring board 32. A main surface portion that substantially covers most of the surface size, leaving a margin around it, is formed in a state of being connected to the second land 37.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which the clip 40 is divided in half. The one-side clip portion 41 and the other-side clip portion 42 are provided with a support shaft 44 with a torsion coil spring 43 having a substantially V-shape interposed therebetween. Thus, the holding parts 45 and 46 of the claws that are opened and closed to hold the conductor to be measured are normally closed and are pivotally supported integrally to form the entire clip 40.

  Note that the shape and structure of the clip 40 itself are not particularly limited, and it is only necessary to have a structure in which the voltage sensor 11 can be incorporated into each of the pair of holding portions sandwiching the conductor to be measured. That is, the voltage sensors 11 are separately provided inside the claw-shaped holding portions 45 and 46, and charges can be detected by electrostatic induction when the conductor to be measured is held.

  For example, on the inner side of the claw-shaped holding portion 46 of the one-side clip portion 41, the side on which the sensor surface 13 of the voltage sensor 11 faces and the first and second through vias 16 and 17 are formed is on the support shaft 44 side. The voltage sensor 11 is fixed in position by being bonded and fixed so as to be in contact with the inner surface of the claw-shaped holding portion 46.

Therefore, it can be made to function as a shield electrode that shields disturbance electrostatic induction generated from these.

  In addition, since the pair of voltage sensors 11 are formed as a single unit, the clip 40 is formed by simply fitting it into the one side clip part 41 side and the other side clip part 42 side. be able to. In addition, since the sensor surface 13 and the shield surface 14 of the voltage sensor 11 are reliably insulated by the solder resist 15 and each substrate layer, even if there is a short circuit factor such as condensation, the mutual resistance is not easily lowered. Therefore, the charge can be detected stably.
