    Abstract: A vehicular camera for a vision system of a vehicle includes a camera housing, a printed circuit board (PCB), and a lens barrel supporting a lens. The lens barrel includes a first end and a second end, the second end having a lens barrel flange. The lens barrel flange may be coupled to the camera housing via adhesive, and the PCB may be coupled to the camera housing via adhesive. The lens barrel flange and the PCB are coupled to the camera housing at a common side of the camera housing. With the lens barrel flange coupled to the first portion of the camera housing, and with the PCB coupled to the second portion of the camera housing, the imager is optically aligned with the lens supported at the lens barrel. Optionally, the camera may include a lens holder having a metal portion and a plastic portion.

    Abstract: A camera assembly for a vehicle vision system includes an imager, a lens and a lens holder. The imager is disposed at a circuit element. The lens holder includes a barrel portion that houses the lens. The lens holder is positioned relative to the imager and includes a flange protruding outward from the barrel portion. The flange of the lens holder includes a generally flat structure having a planar surface that resides in a plane that is normal to an axis of the barrel portion. The lens holder is positioned relative to the imager such that the plane is parallel to the image plane and such that the planar flat surface is a predetermined distance from the image plane, thereby positioning the lens at a desired location relative to the imager.

    Abstract: A vehicular camera module includes a main circuit board and an imager circuit board having an imager disposed thereat. A lens barrel accommodating a lens is at least partially disposed in a passageway of a lens holder. The vehicular camera module includes a housing having an upper cover and a lower cover that are joined together. Electronic circuitry disposed at a main printed circuit board of the main circuit board includes an image processor. The electronic circuitry disposed at the main printed circuit board of the main circuit board includes an image processor. With the imager operated to capture image data, captured image data is provided via a flexible ribbon cable to the electronic circuitry disposed at the main printed circuit board of the main circuit board. The imager is disposed within a rear portion of the housing and is not accommodated within a front portion of the housing.

    Abstract: A method for testing a vehicular camera includes providing a vehicular camera and an environmentally-controlled chamber that has a window allowing visible light to pass into the interior of the chamber. A light-collimating device is provided exterior the environmentally-controlled chamber, and the vehicular camera is disposed within the interior of the environmentally-controlled chamber. Light emitted by the device passes through a window of the chamber to project a target within the chamber. Image data is captured with the vehicular camera that includes at least a portion of the projected target. Responsive to processing by an image processor of image data captured by the vehicular camera, a characteristic of the vehicular camera is estimated.
