PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a monopodial magnetic sensor which suppresses effects of surrounding temperature to a minimum and is capable of detecting a magnetic field in a direction other than a magnetic sensitive axis direction.SOLUTION: First and second magnetic sensitive parts 21 and 22 are arranged so that a median line in a shorter-side direction of magnetic convergence parts 31 and 32 intersect with a portion of the first and second magnetic sensitive parts 21 and 22, and a virtual line segment M connecting both centers of the first and second magnetic sensitive parts 21 and 22 and a virtual line segment N connecting both centers of the first and second magnetic convergence parts 31 and 32 are parallel to each other. According to this configuration, a signal is output in accordance with a magnetic field component of an axis direction which is a perpendicular direction relative to a substrate plane, or a magnetic field component of an axis direction which is parallel to the substrate plane and perpendicular to a magnetic sensitive axis of the magnetic sensitive part, from an output signal difference from the first and second magnetic sensitive parts 21 and 22. |
