That is, the present invention also includes a current sensor that includes the sensor body 14 and can be attached to an arbitrary bus bar. According to the current sensor including only the sensor main body 14, even if the bus bar to be attached is large, the case divided body 50 can be provided at an arbitrary position in the bus bar extending direction without dividing the bus bar. , 52 are assembled from the cutouts of the openings 76a, 76b, so that the sensor body 14 can be attached.
- the divided structure of the case is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and the opening of the case may be formed only in one of the one case divided body and the other case divided body.
- one case divided body 50 and the other case divided body 52 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the magnetic core 34 (the vertical direction in FIG. 10).
- the other case divided body 52 is provided with an opening 76b.
- the magnetic core 34 through which the detected part 16 of the bus bar 12 is inserted is a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the detected part 16 that is perpendicular to the axis of the magnetic core 34 (vertical direction in FIG. 10).
- the raised portions 20 and 20 formed on the detected portion 16 of the bus bar 12 in the embodiment are not necessarily required, and the detected portion 16 has a flat plate shape or the like extending with a rectangular cross section. But it ’s okay.
- the cross-sectional shape of the hollow insertion hole 68 can be appropriately set according to the cross-sectional shape of the detected portion 16, and the detected portion 16 is not necessarily enough to form the hollow portion 94 as in the above-described embodiment. There is no need to make it larger than the cross-sectional shape. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the hollow insertion hole 68 may be a size that allows the detected portion 16 to be inserted and is substantially similar to the cross-sectional shape of the detected portion 16 so that the hollow portion 94 is not formed.
- the circuit board 38 provided with the Hall element 36 is disposed outside the case 40.
- the circuit board 38 may be disposed in the case 40 in the accommodated state.
- the shape of the magnetic core is not limited to an annular shape, and may be a rectangular annular shape.
