業が容易な位置検出装置を提供するにある。In such a magnetic sensor, the detection part R3 is a part that detects magnetic flux, and the closer this part is to the magnetic recording medium 1, the more the detection sensitivity can be improved. However, when soldering is performed on the attached portions R1, R2 of the lead wire 3, the solder 5 usually swells as shown in the figure. Therefore, one lead wire attachment portion RI is located outside the gap on the outer circumferential side of the magnetic recording medium 1, so there is no problem, but the other lead wire attachment portion R2 is located within the gap. Therefore, there was a drawback that the gap g had to be increased by the thickness of the solder 5. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a position detection device that eliminates the drawbacks of the prior art, significantly improves detection sensitivity, and facilitates connection to lead wires.

度pは次のようになる。The magnetoresistive element 2 is a part that senses magnetic information recorded on a recording medium, and as described above, detects magnetic flux with the integrally formed lead wire attachment parts R1 and R2 to which the lead wires are soldered. It is made up of a detection section R3 and crossing sections R4 and R5. The lead wire attachment parts R1 and R2 are wide to facilitate soldering. Furthermore, the narrower the width of the detection part R3 that detects the magnetic flux, the higher the sensitivity will be, but on the other hand, there is an upper limit to the current density, and the output will not become large, so from the relationship with the recording density, it is better to have a width of several tens of meters. Assuming that the resistances of the lead wire attachment parts R1 and R2 are rl and r2, the resistance of the detection part R is r3, and the resistances of the crossing parts R4 and R5 are r4 and r5, their values change when intersecting with the recorded magnetic information. Resistance r3 of detection part R3 and resistance r4 of crossing part R4, and if the changes at this time are △r3 and △r4, △r3 is the resistance change that should be detected, while △r4 is the resistance change that should be detected. Since this is the resistance change as an error that deteriorates the sensitivity, the detection sensitivity p is as follows.
△r3−△r4P=rl+r2十r3十r4十r5

。△r3-△r4P=rl+r20r30r40r5 Therefore, as in this embodiment, the width of the detection portion R3 of the magnetoresistive element 2 is narrowed, and the width of the other portions, that is, the lead wire attachment portions R1, R2, and The detection sensitivity can be increased by widening the widths of the crossing portions R4 and R5, widening Δr3, and decreasing rl, r2, r3, r5, and Δr4.
特に記録媒体の記録磁性情報と交叉するわたり部R4の
幅を広くすると、抵抗r4を小さくできるばかりでなく

近させて、さらに検出感度を上げることができる。In particular, by widening the width of the crossing portion R4 that intersects with the recorded magnetic information of the recording medium, not only can the resistance r4 be reduced, but also the resistance change △r4 that acts as a detection error can be reduced, which can extremely effectively improve the detection sensitivity. can be raised. Further, in this embodiment, since the lead wire attachment parts R1 and R2 of the magnetoresistive element 2 deposited on the substrate 4 are all located outside the recording medium 1, that is, outside the facing gap g, the solder 5 Even if the gap g between the magnetoresistive installation surface of the substrate 4 and the magnetic information recording surface of the recording medium 1 becomes thicker,
It is now possible to reduce the detection part R3 of the magnetoresistive element 2 sufficiently close to the magnetic information recording surface of the recording medium 1. , detection sensitivity can be further increased.

。Furthermore, in this embodiment, each lead wire attachment part R1, R2
are arranged on the outside, that is, on the same side, so that the connection work between each lead wire attachment part R1 and R2 and the lead wire 3 can be easily performed from the same side, improving the workability of connecting the lead wires. can be improved. In addition, in this embodiment, if the width of the crossing portion R4 is made equal to the wavelength input of the recorded magnetic information as shown in FIG. The influence of the recorded magnetic information is canceled out, and the whole becomes insensitive to the recorded magnetic information, resulting in a resistance change △ that acts as a detection error.
r4 becomes zero, and the detection sensitivity can be further increased.

きる。Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, the magnetoresistive element is folded back at its middle part, and each lead wire attachment part at both ends is connected to the magnetic information recording surface of the moving magnetic body and the base of the magnetic sensor. Since it is placed outside the facing gap between the magnetoresistive installation surface of the magnetoresistive element, the facing gap can be made small regardless of the width of the connection part such as solder, and the detection part of the magnetoresistive element can be placed on the magnetic information recording surface of the moving magnetic material. By bringing them closer together, detection sensitivity can be increased.

In addition, the resistance of the crossing portion and the resistance change (which acts as a detection error) are both reduced, and detection sensitivity can also be increased from this point of view. Further, since the lead wire attachment portions are arranged on the same side, the work of connecting each lead wire can be easily performed from the same side, and the workability of connecting the lead wires can also be improved.
