Abstract
A magnetic sensor device includes: a magnetic field generator, disposed at one surface side of a sheet-like to-be-detected object including a magnetic component, to generate an intersecting magnetic field intersecting the object; and a magnetoresistive effect element disposed between the object and the magnetic field generator, having a resistance value changing in accordance with change of a component of the intersecting magnetic field in a conveyance direction along which the object is conveyed, when the object is conveyed. The magnetoresistive effect element includes resistive elements adjacent to each other in the conveyance direction and interconnected by a bridge, disposed in linear symmetry relative to an axis perpendicular to the conveyance direction and extending through a center of the bridge. A position in the conveyance direction of the bridge center of the magnetoresistive effect element coincides with a position in the conveyance direction of the magnetic field generator center.
