Abstract:
1. A rotation angle detection device, comprising: a rotary body rotating in linked motion with a steering wheel; a detector rotating in linked motion with the rotary body; a magnetic detection element placed on a wiring board and detecting magnetism of a magnet placed at the detector; a control part for detecting a rotation angle of the rotary body based on a detection signal from the magnetic detection element; and a holder latched onto the wiring board and rotatably holding the detector, wherein the detector includes a first detector rotating in linked motion with rotation of the rotary body, and a second detector rotating in linked motion with rotation of the first detector, and the magnetic detection element includes a first magnetic detection element for detecting magnetism of the first magnet and a second magnetic detection element for detecting magnetism of the second magnet.
