In an optical disc apparatus, a metallic member forming an optical pickup,
such as a bottom cover member of the optical pickup, has a protrusion in
an integral form on the portion of the metallic member that is opposed to
a plane of a flexible printed-wiring board, and the optical pickup is
constructed so that when it comes into contact with an opposed face of
the flexible printed-wiring board, the optical pickup brings a front end
of the protrusion into contact with the opposed face.
