Abstract

To provide an electronic component and an imaging device including the electronic component, which can readily integrate the connector portion to the housing. The shielding member includes a screw portion. The screw portion is fastened by being screwed to a screw hole of a holding wall of a case portion configuring a rear housing. An external connection connector can be readily integrated to the rear housing in the above manner.

Claims

1. An electronic component comprising:

a housing that accommodates an imaging component;

the housing including an external device connection that conductively connects the imaging component and an external device to each other; and

wherein the external device connection includes

an internal conductor that becomes conductively connected to the external device, and

an external conductor that is formed in a tubular shape and accommodates the internal conductor,

wherein a screw portion is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the external conductor,

wherein a screw hole is provided in the housing, the screw hole holding the external device connection in the housing by having the screw portion screwed to the screw hole, and

wherein a sealing portion, formed by filling a seal material, is provided on an internal surface of the housing so as to contact and seal the external device connection for waterproofing.

2. The electronic component according to claim 1, wherein

the external conductor includes an annular protrusion that abuts against the holding wall when the screw portion and screw hole are screwed together.

3. The electronic component according to claim 1,

wherein the external conductor includes locking recesses on one end portion of the external conductor.

4. The electronic component according to claim 1,

wherein the housing is made of a carbon fiber reinforced resin molded body.

5. An imaging device comprising:

the electronic component according to claim 1.

6. The electronic component according to claim 1,

wherein the housing provides a fitting portion which provides the screw hole inside of the fitting portion,

wherein the sealing portion is provided in between the external conductor and a recess which is adjacent to the fitting portion.
