1. A mounting structure of a current sensor comprising:
the current sensor including a detection portion; and
a connection member for electrically connecting between a battery post of a battery and a harness, wherein
the current sensor is mounted on the connection member,
the connection member includes a predetermined portion, a current density of which is higher than that of other portions of the connection member,
the detection portion of the current sensor is disposed on the predetermined portion of the connection member when the current sensor is mounted on the connection member;
the connection member includes a notch so that a narrow portion of the connection member provides the predetermined portion having high current density, and
at least a part of the current sensor is press-inserted into the notch of the connection member so that the detection portion of the current sensor is disposed on the narrow portion of the connection member.
