Abstract: A method of assembling a camera for a vehicular vision system includes providing a camera housing and forming a post at an interior portion of the camera housing, and positioning a printed circuit board in the camera housing so that the post is received through a hole through the printed circuit board such that a protruding end of the post protrudes from the side of the printed circuit board opposite the imager. Circuitry disposed at one side of the printed circuit board includes an imager. The protruding end of the post is adapted to limit retraction of the post from the hole through the printed circuit board so as to secure the printed circuit board relative to the post and the camera housing. A lens is provided at the camera housing.

Abstract: A method of assembling a camera for a vehicular vision system includes providing a front housing portion, a rear housing portion and a circuit element having an imager disposed thereat. One of the front housing portion and the circuit element includes a protrusion protruding therefrom and the other of the front housing portion and the circuit element includes a receiving portion for at least partially receiving the protrusion when the circuit element is positioned at the front housing portion to align the imager with the lens. When the circuit element is positioned at the front housing portion to align the imager with the lens, the protrusion is at least partially received at the receiving portion and is attached thereat. A damper or retention feature is provided at an opposite side of the imager from the protrusion and receiving portion.

Abstract: A vision system of a vehicle includes a camera having a front housing portion and a circuit element having an imager disposed thereat. One of the front housing portion and the circuit element includes a protrusion protruding therefrom and the other of the front housing portion and the circuit element includes a receiving portion for at least partially receiving the protrusion when the circuit element is positioned at the front housing portion to align the imager with the lens. When the circuit element is positioned at the front housing portion to align the imager with the lens, the protrusion is at least partially received at the receiving portion and is attached thereat, and no other part of the lens holder is attached at the circuit element when the circuit element is positioned at the front housing portion to align the imager with the lens.
