    Abstract: A radar sensor for a vehicular radar sensing system includes a housing structure and at least one printed circuit board (PCB). The housing structure includes a front housing and a rear housing. The PCB is accommodated between the front housing and the rear housing in a cavity established when the front housing and the rear housing are joined together. The rear housing may be joined to the front housing via an intermediate frame disposed between the front housing and the rear housing, with the rear housing secured to the intermediate frame via a plurality of fasteners and with the front housing secured to the intermediate frame via welding.

    Abstract: A vehicular camera includes a front housing portion that accommodates a lens and an imager, a circuit board disposed at the front housing portion, a rear housing portion and a coaxial connecting element at the rear housing portion. The coaxial connecting element includes a first coaxial connector portion and a second coaxial connector portion. The first coaxial connector portion extends outward from the rear housing portion and the second coaxial connector portion extends inward from the rear housing portion. The circuit board has a coaxial connector established thereat. When the rear housing portion is mated with the front housing portion, the second coaxial connector portion electrically connects to the coaxial connector to electrically connect the coaxial connecting element with circuitry at the circuit board. The first coaxial connector portion is configured to connect to a coaxial cable of a vehicle when the vehicular camera is disposed at the vehicle.

    Abstract: A radar sensor for a vehicular radar sensing system includes a housing structure and at least one printed circuit board (PCB). The housing structure includes a front housing and a rear housing. The PCB is accommodated between the front housing and the rear housing in a cavity established within the housing structure when the front housing and the rear housing are joined together. The rear housing may be joined to the front housing via a clip that at least partially circumscribes a junction between the front housing and the rear housing. The rear housing may be joined to the front housing via an intermediate frame disposed between the front housing and the rear housing, with the rear housing secured to the intermediate frame via a plurality of fasteners and with the front housing secured to the intermediate frame via welding.

    Abstract: A camera for a vehicle vision system includes a front housing portion, a circuit board, and a rear housing portion having a connector portion for connection of a vehicle coaxial cable. The circuit board includes a first solder pad for soldering a core pin connecting element, and a second solder pad that partially circumscribes the first solder pad for soldering a shielding connecting element. The second solder pad only partially circumscribes the first solder pad so as to have a gap between opposing ends of the second solder pad. The gap is configured to allow for escape of gases that evaporate out of the solder during the soldering process. The core pin connecting element electrically connects between a core pin of the connected coaxial cable and circuitry of the circuit board and the shielding connecting element electrically connects between shielding of the coaxial cable and circuitry of the circuit board.

    Abstract: A method of assembling a vehicular camera includes providing a front housing portion and a rear housing portion and attaching a circuit board at the front housing portion. A one-piece coaxial connecting element is provided at the rear housing portion. With the coaxial connecting element provided at the rear housing portion, a first coaxial cable connector extends outward from the outer side of the rear housing portion and a second coaxial cable connector extends inward from the inner side of the rear housing portion. As the rear housing portion is mated with the front housing portion, the second coaxial cable connector engages the third coaxial cable connector at the circuit board to electrically connect the coaxial connecting element with circuitry at the circuit board. The first coaxial cable connector is configured to connect to a coaxial cable of a vehicle when the vehicular camera is disposed at the vehicle.
