Abstract
A magnetic sensor device includes: a magnet; yokes arranged on the magnet; and a magnetoresistance effect element to which is applied a leakage magnetic field emitted from the yokes to an exterior thereof. A detection region of the magnetoresistance effect element is at the side opposite to the magnet. The magnetoresistance effect element detects a change of a bias magnetic field of the magnetoresistance effect element that occurs when the object to be detected including the hard magnetic material passes through the detection region. The magnetic sensor device can accurately detect an object to be detected using a hard magnetic material.
