  • Publication number: 20190068860
    Abstract: There is provided an imaging apparatus that is resistant to electromagnetic noise and can be readily manufactured at low cost. An outer frame member 7 is provided with an inner frame member 6, which is a box-shaped metal shell, to suppress influence of electromagnetic noise on the interior of the outer frame member 7. A tubular section 72 is provided with a pin shield 53, which is a tubular metal shell, to suppress influence of electromagnetic noise on the interior of the tubular section 72, which connects an external conductor to the imaging apparatus. A bad influence of external electromagnetic noise on pin terminals 52, which serve as an electrically continuous path, can be avoided. The inner frame member 6 and the pin shield 53 are members separate from each other and can therefore each be relatively readily manufactured as a press-worked metal thin plate.
