Abstract
The present invention provides a stereo camera device with which it is possible to prevent the deformation of a housing caused by a warp or strain imposed on a cover and a difference in the rate of increase of the temperature of the housing and the cover, as well as to reduce the size of the housing and to cut down component counts and assembly man-hours. In the present invention, fixing of a substrate and a housing together and fixing of a cover and the housing together are performed in common, and the substrate and the cover are fixed to the housing at the same (common) fixing point, whereby a warp or strain imposed on the cover and a difference in the rate of increase of the temperature of the housing and the cover are absorbed by an elastic body that is used for floating/fixing and is provided for the purpose of cancelling a difference in the amount of contraction and expansion caused by a difference in the coefficient of linear expansion of the substrate and the housing.
