  • Publication number: 20220373764
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor, a lens, and an electric module disposed outside the lens when viewed in a first direction. The electric module includes a first inductor, a first transformer, a second inductor, and a second transformer. A second terminal of the first inductor is connected to a third terminal of the first primary winding. A fifth terminal of the second inductor is connected to a seventh terminal of the second primary winding. The first inductor is wound clockwise from a first terminal toward the second terminal. The second inductor is wound counterclockwise from a sixth terminal toward the fifth terminal. The first primary winding is wound counterclockwise from the third terminal toward a fourth terminal. The second primary winding is wound clockwise from the seventh terminal toward the eighth terminal.

  • Patent number: 11394859
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes a printed wiring board and an inductor. The inductor includes a winding wire portion, a pair of wire portions drawn out from the winding wire portion to a first side in a first direction, and a pair of electrodes connected to the pair of wire portions. The printed wiring board includes a pair of pads connected to the pair of electrodes, and a pair of wiring patterns extending from the pair of pads. Each of the pair of wiring patterns extends from a first portion of corresponding one of the pair of pads. The first portion is a portion extending from an end of the corresponding one of the pair of pads on a second side in the first direction to a length that is two thirds of a length of the corresponding one of the pair of pads in the first direction.
