1. A case for accommodating a solid-state imaging device comprising:
a case body made of a resin having a depression for accommodation to dispose a solid-state imaging device in the inside thereof and a longitudinal direction size of the case body is 3 or more times a width direction size;
a plurality of lead terminals which are elongated from the inside of the depression for accommodation to the outside through a side wall running parallel to a longitudinal direction of the case body; and
ribs made of a resin which are integrally formed with a bottom plate along a longitudinal direction of the bottom plate of the case body, the outermost bottom surface of the case forming a recess,
wherein inner surfaces of said ribs face each other and are exposed to air, and there is a space between said inner surfaces;
in the side wall, the width direction is assumed to be a depth direction, and the side wall has a plurality of depressions positioned along the longitudinal direction; and
the case body and the ribs are made of a resin comprising a liquid crystal polymer and a filler comprising an inorganic material, wherein the filler comprises a plurality of fibrous bodies or needle-like bodies, and each of the fibrous bodies or needle-like bodies has an aspect ratio of not less than 5.
