Patent ID: 6946831

Claim:
A noncontact rotary position sensor comprising: a permanent magnet mounted on an end portion of a shaft, an angular position of which is to be detected; a pair of stators proximal to said permanent magnet for constituting a magnetic path in which a magnetic flux being generated by said permanent magnet passes through; a magnetism throttling portion formed in a part of said pair of stators; two magnetic induction elements disposed at said magnetism throttling portion; plural terminals formed on one side of said two magnetic induction elements so as to receive signals from said two magnetic induction elements; and a housing for holding said pair of stators, said two magnetic induction elements, and said plural terminals and also providing a connector portion for electrical connecting to an outer portion at an outer periphery thereof; wherein said plural terminals are electrically connected to an end portion of a terminal of a side of said connector portion and at an inner side of said housing; wherein said plural terminals have bent portions between a side in which said plural terminals are connected to said two magnetism induction elements and a side in which said plural terminals are connected to said connector portion; and wherein terminal portions of a side of said two magnetism induction elements and a terminal portion of a side of said connector portion, each having a different terminal arrangement width, are electrically connected and are held in said receiving case.
