ABSTRACT:
A magnetic sensor has a elongate sensor region formed by an elongate magneto-resistive element and an overlapping elongate conductive element. The ends of the magneto-resistive element and the conductive element are connected to terminals which are arranged in an array which is spaced in a predetermined direction from the elongate sensor region. The array may be at one side or one end of the elongate sensor region, and the terminals may have a linear arrangement within the array. The two terminals connected to the magneto-resistive element are preferably adjacent, and preferably the terminals connected to the ends of the magneto-resistive element and the conductive element closer to the array are also adjacent. A common terminal may be provided. Two such sensors may form a sensor array which is particularly suitable for use in a position sensor in e.g. a torque sensor of a power steering system.
