Patent ID: 8455962

Claim:
A magneto-impedance sensor element, comprising: a base body made of a nonmagnetic body; a magnetic amorphous wire held on the base body; a coating insulator formed so that the magnetic amorphous wire passes through its inside; a detecting coil formed around the coating insulator; a terminal base made of an insulator having a terminal mounting surface raised from a surface of the base body on a side where the magnetic amorphous wire is arranged; wire electrode terminals and coil electrode terminals formed over the terminal mounting surface; wire connecting wirings for electrically connecting the wire electrode terminals and a pair of wire conducting terminals provided to the magnetic amorphous wire; and coil connecting wirings for electrically connecting the coil electrode terminals and a pair of coil conducting terminals provided to the detecting coil, wherein the wire electrode terminal and the coil electrode terminal are configured to connect respective ends of a bonding wire, and a normal of the terminal mounting surface is aligned with a longitudinal direction component of the amorphous wire, and the terminal mounting surface is arranged between both ends of the magnetic amorphous wire in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic amorphous wire.
