Rotation angle detection device

1. A rotation angle detection device, comprising:

a magnetic detection member that is configured to detect a rotation angle of a rotation member;

a holding member holding the magnetic detection member; and

a plurality of wiring members for magnetic detection that are attached to the holding member and are connected to the magnetic detection member;

wherein the magnetic detection member includes a flat plate-shaped body portion, and a plurality of lead terminals that are longitudinally linearly projected from one end portion of the body portion in parallel over the entire length thereof;

wherein the body portion of the magnetic detection member is slidably attached to the holding member in a manner that the body portion can longitudinally slide relative to the holding member;

wherein the wiring members for magnetic detection respectively have lead terminal connecting portions that linearly extend over their entire length and in the same direction as and parallel to the lead terminals of the magnetic detection member; and

wherein the lead terminals of the magnetic detection member are laid on the lead terminal connecting portions of the wiring members for magnetic detection and bonded thereto.

2. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the lead terminals of the magnetic detection member are bonded to the lead terminal connecting portions of the wiring members for magnetic detection at distal end portions thereof by a resistance welding method, and wherein at least one of the lead terminals has a length different from a length of the remaining lead terminals and is bonded to the corresponding lead terminal connecting portion at a longitudinal position different from the remaining lead terminals.

3. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the lead terminal connecting portions of the wiring members for magnetic detection have a width greater than a width of other portions of the wiring members for magnetic detection.

4. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the holding member has a resin-molded component molded with the wiring members for magnetic detection, and wherein the resin-molded component has an attaching surface on which the body portion of the magnetic detection member is disposed.

5. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 4 , wherein the resin-molded component has a first positioning portion that is configured to position the other end portion of the body portion of the magnetic detection member in a direction away from the attaching surface of the resin-molded component.

6. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 5 , wherein the resin-molded component has a surrounding wall that surrounds the magnetic detection member.

7. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 6 , wherein the resin-molded component has recessed portions that are positioned around the surrounding wall.

8. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 4 , wherein the resin-molded component has a second positioning portion that is configured to position at least one of the lead terminals of the magnetic detection member in directions parallel to the attaching surface and perpendicular to the lead terminals.

9. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 5 , wherein the first positioning portion has an engagement opening into which the other end portion of the body portion of the magnetic detection member is longitudinally slidably received.

10. The rotation angle detection device as defined in claim 1 , further comprising actuator connection wiring members having actuator terminal connecting portions, wherein the actuator terminal connecting portions respectively have a pair of flat plate-shaped elastic clamping strips that are configured to elastically clamp actuator terminals therebetween, and wherein the elastic clamping strips are configured to be elastically flexed in their widthwise directions and reduced in width toward distal end portions thereof.
