IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE
An image pickup device by which the size of a device main body can be reduced and the assembly process can be easily automated. In the image pickup device, a wiring ( 118 ) and relay terminals ( 115, 116, 117, 119 ) for electrically connecting a shutter driving section ( 114 ) with a shutter driver ( 112 ) are integrally formed with a solid wring board ( 101 ) and a lens tube ( 106 ), respectively. An electric terminal ( 120 ) of the shutter driving section ( 114 ) for driving a shutter ( 107 ), i.e. an actuator, is electrically connected with a printed board ( 108 ) through the wiring ( 118 ) of the lens tube ( 106 ) and the wiring of the solid wiring board ( 101 ). Thus, the shutter driving section ( 114 ) is electrically connected with the shutter driver ( 112 ) which controls the shutter driving section ( 114 ) mounted on the printed board ( 108 ).
