Abstract: A shunt type current sensor (1) using an infrared ray temperature detection unit as a temperature sensor (60) can detect the temperature of a shunt resistance portion (SR) directly through the detection of infrared rays radiated from the shunt resistance portion (SR). Such a detection method is not so much affected by thermal loss, as compared with a method for detecting a temperature in a course of sequential heat conduction via a bus bar (10) and a circuit board (20). It is therefore possible to suppress a gap between the temperature of the shunt resistance portion (SR) and the detected temperature.

Each of the pair of connecting terminal portions extends from edge of the bus bar, and is erected toward the circuit board to penetrate the circuit board.
