Abstract
Provided are a camera module and electronic equipment that are advantageous in alleviating a stress to be imposed on connectors and a flexible substrate at the time of attaching a printed wiring substrate. A first flankof a lens barreland a second flankthereof intersect each other. An image sensoris mounted with the back surfaceA thereof directed to a flexible substrate. A signal processing unitis formed on a rigid printed wiring substrate. A flexible substratehas a projecting portionthat projects from an intersectional partat which the first flankand second flankintersect each other. The printed wiring substrateis disposed on the second flankvia a temporary lock mechanism. The projecting portionof the flexible substrateis folded at the intersectional part, a flexible substrate-side connectoris coupled to a printed wiring substrate-side connector, and an adhesive layeris bonded to the second flank. The flexible substrateand printed wiring substrateare thus mounted on the lens barrel
