Abstract
An optical pickup includes a lens frame, and the lens frame includes protruding portions provided with through-holes, coil connecting portions protruding away from a supporting-wire holding portion at corners. The coil connecting portions are provided with cutout portions constituted by two surfaces intersecting each other at the both side surfaces of the coil connecting portions in order to form waist portions at a wound portion. Supporting wires are overlapped with the lead wires wound around the waist portions of the coil connecting portions when viewed from above and connected to these wound lead wires with solder. With this configuration, it is possible to provide an optical pickup which enables connecting the terminated portions of the wound coil lead wires and the supporting wires with a reduced amount of solder, thereby reducing the weight and the cost.
