ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to an electrical connecter, mounted on a mounting board within a camera, to which an FPC board is connected, that does not increase the size of the camera, and is a simplified shape and structure. The main camera body is equipped with a flat portion on one portion of the outer wall that forms a film chamber comprising either a cartridge chamber or a spool chamber. A mounting board has a section that faces and is substantially parallel to the flat portion and an extension section that does not face the flat portion. A horizontal or vertical electrical connecter is attached to the extension section of the mounting board on the surface generally facing the outer wall of the film chamber and an electrical board comprising an FPC board or the like is connected to the electrical connecter. To enhance the features of the camera, a first electrical component is loaded on the surface of the mounting board opposite to the electrical connector loaded surface. The FPC board runs along the connector loaded surface. The FPC board passes around an edge section of the mounting board to extend along the surface of the mounting board opposite the connecter loaded surface. A second electrical component is loaded on the extended part of the FPC board.
