Magnetic detection device, current detection device, method for manufacturing magnetic detection device, and method for manufacturing current detection device
A current sensor (current detection device) 100 includes a conductor 10 through which measurement-target current flows, a magnetic sensor 30 that detects magnetic fields generated by current flowing through the conductor and a package 60 that, together with at least part of the conductor, separates the magnetic sensor from the conductor and covers and seals in their outer surfaces. Together with a curved portion 13 of the conductor, the package separates, from the conductor through which measurement-target current flows, the magnetic sensor that detects magnetic fields generated by current flowing through the conductor and covers and seals in their outer surfaces so that an interface that can spread in the package, in which the magnetic sensor is embedded, from its boundaries with it is not formed; therefore, a high withstand voltage can be obtained.
