Abstract
A distance measurement apparatus measures a distance to an object by irradiating emission light and detecting reflected light from the object onto which the emission light is irradiated. This apparatus includes a transmission window, a heater wire, and a flexible substrate that is provided in the transmission window. The flexible substrate includes: a surface-mounted-type electronic component; a land to which an electrode of the electronic component is electrically connected, and a conductive adhesive that is formed on the land and adheres the electrode of the electronic component and the land. When a longitudinal direction of a surface of the electronic component that opposes the land is a reference direction, a length along the reference direction of a contact surface between the land and the conductive adhesive is equal to or greater than twice a length along the reference direction of a mounting surface of the electrode of the electronic component.
