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

the external device connection including

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

a 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, and

wherein a screw hole is provided in the housing, the screw hole holding the external conductor by having the screw portion screwed thereto.

2. The electronic component according to claim 1, further comprising a waterproof sealing portion at a boundary between the housing and the external conductor.

3. The electronic component according to claim 1,

wherein the housing includes a holding wall in which the screw hole is provided,

the holding wall includes a recess in which the external conductor to which the screw portion and the screw hole are screwed together is disposed,

the recess is filled with a waterproof seal material, and the recess includes a tubular sealing portion in which the seal material is filled.

4. The electronic component according to claim 1,

wherein the housing includes a holding wall in which the screw hole is provided, and

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

5. The electronic component according to claim 1,

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

6. The electronic component according to claim 1,

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

7. An imaging device comprising:

the electronic component according to claim 1.
