    Abstract: A detection signal output device includes connector terminals adapted to be connected by a cable to an external device. Fixed contacts are spaced apart from the connector terminals and output information indicating detector states. An integrated circuit includes a box-shaped package having different first and second side surfaces. First IC terminals are arranged on the first side surface and electrically connected to the fixed contacts. Second IC terminals are arranged on the second side surface and electrically connected to the connector terminals. The integrated circuit generates an information signal, in accordance with information indicating the detector states obtained through the first IC terminals, and outputs the information signal from one of the second IC terminals. The fixed contacts are arranged in correspondence with the first side surface, and the connector terminals are arranged in correspondence with the second side surface.
