Abstract
A magnetic sensor array includes a plurality of magnetic sensors. The magnetic sensor includes a sensor housing body housing the sensor chip and first and second connection parts formed on the sensor housing body. The first connection part formed on one of adjacent magnetic sensors and the second connection part formed on the other one thereof are axially supported on each other to achieve mutual connection between the plurality of magnetic sensors. Thus, it is possible to vary the relative angle between two adjacent magnetic sensors with the first and second connection parts as an axis. This allows the plurality of magnetic sensors to be pressed perpendicularly against even a curved surface of an object to be measured, and the pressed state can be easily maintained.
