Abstract
A vehicular electric lock device is provided in which a magnet is provided in a slider which is operated linearly in response to rotation of an electric motor and is operatively linked to a lock member, and a magnetic sensor detects by means of a magnetic field of the magnet that the lock member is in at least one of a lock position and a unlock position, wherein the slider comprises a screw-fitting member that is formed from a ferromagnetic material having rigidity and has a threaded shaft screwed thereinto and a magnet retaining member that is formed from a paramagnetic material, covers the screw-fitting member and retains the magnet, and the magnet retaining member is coupled to the screw-fitting member while preventing a relative movement in the direction along an axis of the threaded shaft and relative rotation around the axis of the threaded shaft.
