Abstract:
1. An imaging device for taking an image of an object, the imaging device comprising: an imaging element configured to capture an optical image of an object, and generate image data; a main circuit substrate, disposed behind the imaging element, configured to perform signal processing of the image data generated by the imaging element; a mounting component configured to mount the imaging element; a metal plate, disposed between the mounting component and the main circuit substrate, having a front surface on which the mounting component is mounted; a mount, disposed in front of the metal plate, configured to support the metal plate by connection sections extending forward from the metal plate being fixed at at least three fixing points; a plurality of elastic components, provided at each fixing point of the mount, configured to urge the connection sections; and an electrically-conductive component configured to electrically connect between a ground conductor of the main circuit substrate and the metal plate, wherein the electrically-conductive component is disposed such that a connection point with the metal plate is positioned in a area which is formed by the at least three fixing points being sequentially connected in the case of a back surface of the metal plate being viewed in a direction orthogonal thereto.
