Original Abstract Submitted
A current sensor includes a bus bar, a core having a core hole, a gap forming portion, a core lateral portion, and a core bottom portion, a detection unit located in a gap, and a case containing the core. The case has an opening portion which is inserted in a core hole and in which the bus bar is inserted. The opening portion includes a facing surface facing the bus bar and a protruding portion protruding from the facing surface toward the bus bar to come into contact with the bus bar, and a space is formed between the facing surface of the bus bar.
