Abstract
A lens barrel includes an electric contact fixed to a mount, a first substrate disposed between a fixed barrel and the mount, a second substrate connected to the first substrate and the electric contact while forming a folded portion, and disposed so as to overlap the first substrate when viewed from an optical axis direction, a plurality of first elastic members held by the fixed barrel and configured to position and hold the first substrate in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis, and a second elastic member held by the fixed barrel and disposed between the fixed barrel and the first substrate. The first substrate is urged toward the fixed barrel in the optical axis direction by a force from the folded portion, and contacts the second elastic member on a surface on a side of the fixed barrel of the first substrate.
