Abstract
A solid-state imaging device comprises a housing in which a base and ribs forming a rectangular frame are formed in one piece by a resin; a plurality of metal lead pieces embedded in the housing, each of which has an internal terminal portion facing an internal space of the housing and an external terminal portion exposed at an outer portion of the housing; an imaging element arranged on the base in the internal space of the housing; connecting members connecting electrodes of the imaging element to the internal terminal portions of the metal lead pieces; and a transparent plate fastened to an upper face of the ribs. The upper face of the ribs is provided with a lower step portion that is lowered along an external periphery, and the transparent plate is fastened to the upper face of the ribs by an adhesive filled at least into the lower step portion. The joint between the ribs and the transparent plate has a cushioning effect with respect to stress caused by thermal deformation and the like, improving durability.
