Translated Patent
To provide a device that is able to prevent a cable from being caught and a connector from being separated while achieving a thickness reduction in a width direction of an apparatus body.SOLUTION: A device 101 has a device body having a front side, a rear side and a side face disposed between them. The side face has a plurality of inclined faces including a first inclined face and a second inclined face. Each of the plurality of inclined faces includes a first end and a second end. The first end of each of the plurality of inclined faces is located nearer to the rear side than the second end. The first end of each of the plurality of inclined faces is located nearer to an optical axis than the second end in a width direction. The plurality of inclined faces are located so as not to overlap one other as viewed from the width direction and arranged such that some of them overlap as viewed from an optical axis direction. A plurality of external connection terminals are provided on the first inclination face. The second inclination face is provided with one external connection terminal displaced in the width direction and in a height direction orthogonal to the optical axis from all the external connection terminals of the first inclination face.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
the present invention reduces the pluggability of the cable with respect to the external connection terminal even when a plurality of external connection terminals are arranged on the side surface in the width direction of the device main body, while reducing the width of the apparatus main body such as an imaging device in the width direction. Provided is a technique for preventing a cable from being caught or a connector from being disconnected without the need for the same.
