Abstract

An electronic device has an electronic component, a substrate on which the electronic component is mounted, and a housing having a tubular shape. The housing includes a first metal plate that is a tubular metal plate covering the electronic component and the substrate from the outer peripheral direction of the substrate and a second metal plate that is a tubular metal plate joined to the first metal plate from the radially inner side, a portion of each of the first metal plate and the second metal plate being covered with resin.

Claims (28)

1. An electronic device comprising:

an electronic component;

a substrate on which the electronic component is mounted; and

a housing having a tubular shape and including a first metal plate that is a tubular metal plate covering the electronic component and the substrate from an outer peripheral direction of the substrate and a second metal plate that is a tubular metal plate joined to the first metal plate from a radially inner side, a portion of each of the first metal plate and the second metal plate being covered with resin,

wherein the housing has a joining portion, at least at a portion of a surface facing an inner space of the housing, made of the resin and joined to a main surface of the substrate.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first metal plate has a first peripheral wall portion that covers the electronic component and the substrate from an outer side relative to the outer peripheral direction of the substrate and a first plate portion that extends radially inward from an end, in an axial direction, of the first peripheral wall portion, and

wherein the first plate portion faces at least a portion of a main surface of the substrate accommodated in the housing.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 ,

wherein a drawing portion is provided, in an outer edge of the first peripheral wall portion, from the first plate portion to the first peripheral wall portion.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least a portion of the first metal plate is exposed to an inner space of the housing.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second metal plate has a second peripheral wall portion that is joined to the first metal plate from the radially inner side, a second plate portion that extends radially inward from an end, in an axial direction, of the second peripheral wall portion, and a folded portion having a tubular shape and formed along an end portion of the second peripheral wall portion opposite to the end of the second peripheral wall portion, and

wherein the folded portion is formed by the end portion of the second peripheral wall portion being folded back toward an inner space of the second metal plate.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5 ,

wherein at least one port is formed on a surface of the folded portion formed in the second metal plate, the surface facing the inner space of the second metal plate, and

wherein the resin is filled inside of the folded portion formed in the tubular shape.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least a portion of the second metal plate is exposed to an inner space of the housing.

8. An imaging device comprising:

an imaging optical system;

an electronic component including at least an image sensor;

a substrate on which the electronic component is mounted; and

a housing having a tubular shape and including a first metal plate that is a tubular metal plate covering the electronic component and the substrate from an outer peripheral direction of the substrate and a second metal plate that is a tubular metal plate joined to the first metal plate from a radially inner side, a portion of each of the first metal plate and the second metal plate being covered with resin,

wherein the housing has a joining portion, at least at a portion of a surface facing an inner space of the housing, made of the resin and joined to a main surface of the substrate.

9. A mobile body comprising:

the imaging device according to claim 8 .
