Also, to assemble, insert the permanent magnet into the magnet housing inside the convex wall of the case body, store the ring-shaped coil with the signal wire connected in the coil housing, pull out the signal wire from the lead-out part, and then cover with the cover plate. Good quality and extremely easy to assemble. In this case, the permanent magnet and the annular coil are housed separately in a concentric magnet housing part and a coil housing part, separated by a convex wall, so there is no risk of contact or eccentricity due to movement even if an external force is applied. , there is no possibility of coil breakage or decrease in sensitivity. In particular, according to the present invention, a shielded conductor wire in which a signal line is shielded with a shielded wire is used, a locking portion for locking the shielded wire is provided in the lead-out portion, and the shielded wire is locked by this locking portion. It was designed so that it is exposed to the outside. Therefore, the exposed shield wire is automatically bonded to the conductive coating and electrically connected to the conductive coating at the same time as the coating is layered. Therefore, the magnetic sensor can be assembled more easily, and a magnetic sensor can be manufactured at low cost.
