Claim Text:
1. A current detector to sense current flowing through a conductor on a circuit board without being placed in series with the conductor, comprising: a first magnetically conductive partial ring to be located above the conductor; a second magnetically conductive partial ring to be located below the conductor and to form a magnetically conductive complete ring together with the first magnetically conductive partial ring around the conductor upon being contactively aligned with the first magnetically conductive partial ring; a Hall effect sensor disposed within one of the first magnetically conductive partial ring and the second magnetically conductive partial ring and to output a signal corresponding to the current flowing through the conductor upon the first magnetically conductive partial ring and the second magnetically conductive partial ring forming the magnetically conductive complete ring; a first attachment mounting member for the first magnetically conductive partial ring to mount the first magnetically conductive partial ring above the conductor from a top surface of the circuit board; and a second attachment mounting member for the second magnetically conductive partial ring to mount the second magnetically conductive partial ring below the conduct trace from a bottom surface of the circuit board, wherein each of the first attachment mounting member and the second attachment mounting member comprises a solder pad to be soldered to the circuit board.
