Abstract
A magnetic field detector has a sensor arrangement which is disposed in a housing and includes a plurality of stripe-magnetic-field-dependent resistors arranged on the underside of a dielectric support. A permanent magnet is oriented perpendicularly to the upper side of the support and to the magnetic-field-dependent resistors. In one embodiment, the sensor arrangement is located approximately in the center of the housing and a plurality of electrical contact means are attached on both sides of the permanent magnet and adjacent thereto within the housing. In another embodiment, the sensor arrangement is located laterally from the center of the housing and the electrical contact means are attached within the housing and adjacent to only one side of the magnet. The electrical contact means have internal terminals which are connected by small wire conductors to the magnetic-field-dependent resistors, and external terminals are formed into solder contacts or plug contacts which are adapted to engage a mating connector.
