Abstract

An image sensor includes a light receiving insulating substrate which has a plurality of light receiving elements with one row disposed on one major surface and has a first wiring portion on one side of the major surface for connecting the light receiving elements to a plurality of external driving elements; a driving insulating substrate which has the driving elements mounted on one major surface and has a second wiring portion on one side of the major surface for connecting the driving elements to the light receiving elements; a press-contact connector for electrically connecting the wiring portions, keeping the light receiving insulating substrate and the driving insulating substrate in contact with each other with their respective wiring portions positioned back to back; and engaging means provided close to at least one of the wiring portions in the light receiving insulating substrate and the driving insulating substrate and also provided in the press-contact connector, for enhancing a mechanical holding strength of the press-contact connector to the insulating substrates.
