Abstract
A solid-state imaging unit includes: a solid-state imaging device mounted on a substrate; a bonding wire which electrically connects a pad formed on the solid-state imaging device and a lead formed on the substrate; a frame member having a frame shape which surrounds side portions of the solid-state imaging device; and an optical member having optical transparency and mounted on the frame member so as to face an imaging surface of the solid-state imaging device, wherein the frame member has a leg portion which protrudes from an optical member side toward the imaging surface of the solid-state imaging device, and the frame member and the solid-state imaging device are integrally fixed to each other in a state where the leg portion comes into contact with an intermediate area which is located between an imaging area and a pad forming area on the imaging surface.
