A DC current sensor with an exciting core of soft magnetic material and formed with a pair of tubular bodies, each tubular body being positioned in parallel with the other to provide therebetween a space, through which passes a wire conducting a current to be detected; a detecting core formed with the side faces of a pair of tubular bodies and two plate-like members of soft magnetic material, each of which connecting integrally with each of the inside edges thereof near an opening of the tubular bodies to form a rectangular frame-shaped member as a whole; exciting coils, each of which magnetically energizing the exciting core in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the detecting core; detecting coils, each of which being wound around the detecting core; and applying an alternating current to the exciting coils to periodically and magnetically saturate the rectangular-shaped portions of the detecting core and exciting core, energizing the exciting coils to modulate a magnetic flux produced in the detecting core corresponding to the DC current flowing through the wire.
