ABSTRACT:
A lens holding member (30) is molded by filling a molten synthetic resin from a gate of a mold into a product cavity, and a portion corresponding to the gate of the mold for molding remains thereon as a gate portion (72). By mounting a coil (52) on a rear cylindrical face (60), an adhesive filling recess (70) that opens in a direction parallel to an optical axis of an image pickup optical system (28) is defined by a center face (66), side faces (68) standing from both sides of the center face (66), an outer face (58), and an inner peripheral surface of the coil (52). The gate portion (72) is provided on the center face (66) of the adhesive filling recess (70). By filling the adhesive filling recess (74) with adhesive B, an outer peripheral portion of the lens holding member (30) and an inner peripheral portion of the coil (52) are bonded together, and the gate portion (72) is buried in the adhesive B. These provide a camera module that is advantageous in effectively preventing dust from being generated from the gate portion without necessitating any special treatment process.
