A digital camera module (200) includes a carrier (20), an image sensor chip (30), a number of wires (50), a holder (60), and a lens module (70). The carrier includes a base (21) and a leadframe (23) embedded in the base. The base includes a board (211), a sidewall (213) and a cavity (24). The leadframe includes a number of conductive leads (233) spaced from each other. Each lead has a first terminal portion (235), a second terminal portion (236), and an interconnecting portion (237) connecting the first and second terminal portions. The chip is mounted on the carrier, and has an active area (301). The wires electrically connect the chip and the leadframe. The holder is mounted to the carrier to close the cavity. The lens module is received in the holder and guides light to the active area of the chip.
