    Abstract: A vehicular camera assembly includes an imager and a camera housing formed by a rear housing portion joined with a front housing portion. A first printed circuit board is disposed at the front housing portion, with a first electrical connector disposed at a rear side of the first printed circuit board. A second printed circuit board has a second electrical connector disposed at a front side of the second printed circuit board. Board-to-board electrical connection of the second printed circuit board to the first printed circuit board is made via electrical connection of the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector. A connector portion of the rear housing portion is configured for connecting to a vehicle wiring connector. The connector portion of the rear housing portion includes a multi-pin connector having a plurality of solid terminal pins.

    Abstract: A vehicular camera assembly includes a housing, a PCB disposed in the housing, a circuit board connector at the PCB, and a coaxial connector having a core connector element and a shield connector element that at least partially circumscribes the core connector element. The PCB includes circuitry associated with an imager of the vehicular camera assembly. The circuit board connector includes a first connector element and a second connector element. The housing includes a vehicle connector portion configured for connecting to a connector end of a vehicle cable. When a first end of the coaxial connector is electrically connected to the circuit board connector, the core connector element of the coaxial connector electrically connects to the first connector element of the circuit board connector and the shield connector element of the coaxial connector electrically connects to the second connector element of the circuit board connector.
