Abstract
In a magnetic field sensor comprising at least one magnetic-field-dependent resistor disposed in the vicinity of an outer side of a housing that is open on at least one side and further comprising a permanent magnet that is adjacent to said magnetic-field-dependent resistor, the magnetic-field-dependent resistor(s) (6), arranged on a support (4), are in a contacting relationship with the inside of a detector side wall (2) of the housing (1), and the thickness (x) of said detector side wall (2) is, at least in the area of the active surface of the magnetic-field-dependent resistors (6), smaller than that of the other housing walls (17, 18, 19) and/or the housing base (20). A rugged, high-resolution magnetic field sensor is thus obtained.
