Claim:
1. An optical distance measuring apparatus comprising: a lead frame having, on a same plane, a light emitting header, a light receiving header, and a connecting part extending in one direction to connect the light emitting header with the light receiving header; a light emitting element mounted on the light emitting header; a light receiving element mounted on the light receiving header and configured to detect a spot position of light emitted from the light emitting element and then reflected by an object to be measured; a light permeable resin body sealing the light emitting element and the light receiving element; a first light blocking resin body sealing the light permeable resin body in an integral manner, the first light blocking resin body including a light blocking wall that is positioned between the light emitting element and the light receiving element; a light emitting lens having light permeability, the light emitting lens mounted to the first light blocking resin body so as to be positioned above the light emitting element; and a light receiving lens having light permeability, the light receiving lens mounted to the first light blocking resin body so as to be positioned above the light receiving element, the lead frame having at least two first terminals which are connected to the light receiving header and extend in a direction substantially orthogonal to a direction in which the connecting part extends, and each of the first terminals being fixed by the first light blocking resin body.
