Abstract

An electric current detection device includes magnetism detector elements for detecting a strength of a magnetic field generated by an electric current flowing through an electric current path, a detection circuit for detecting a magnitude of an electric current flowing through the electric current path based on an output of the magnetism detector elements, and plural wires that are connected to the magnetism detector elements and extend in a direction away from the electric current path. The magnetism detector elements are arranged such that a direction of a magneto-sensitive axis thereof lies on a first plane parallel to a current-carrying direction of the electric current path and parallel to an extending direction of the plurality of wires. The plural wires are arranged on a same plane of a second plane orthogonal to the first plane.
