Abstract: A vehicular camera assembly includes (i) a camera housing that houses a printed circuit board (PCB) having an imager disposed thereat and (ii) a lens barrel that includes a lens accommodating portion that accommodates a lens and a lens barrel flange that circumscribes the lens accommodating portion. The lens barrel flange is adhesively attached at a first attachment surface of a wall structure of the camera housing via adhesive and the PCB is adhesively attached at a second attachment surface of the wall structure of the camera housing via adhesive. The first attachment surface of the camera housing and the second attachment surface of the camera housing are at a common side of the wall structure of the camera housing. With the lens barrel flange and the PCB adhesively attached at the camera housing, the imager is aligned with the lens accommodated by the lens barrel.

Abstract: A vehicle vision system includes a bracket, a stray light shield and a camera module. The bracket is configured to attach at an in-cabin surface of a vehicle windshield. The light shield includes a base portion and side walls that extend upward from the base portion so as to establish a pocket. The camera module includes a camera having an image sensor array and a lens, and the camera module is configured to mount at the bracket. The stray light shield, when the camera module is mounted at the bracket attached at the windshield, shields the image sensor array from light emanating from within the cabin of the vehicle. At least the base portion of the stray light shield comprises light traps structurally established thereat and configured to reduce incidence of extraneous light at the image sensor array.

Abstract: A vehicular camera module includes a housing for mounting at a vehicular windshield, a processor printed circuit board (processor PCB) disposed in the housing, and an imager assembly. The imager assembly includes (i) a lens barrel accommodating a lens, (ii) an imager printed circuit board (imager PCB), and (iii) a flexible electrical ribbon cable that electrically connects the imager PCB to the processor PCB. An imager is disposed at a first side of the imager PCB. The imager PCB includes an imager portion at which the imager is disposed and attaching portions at respective outboard ends. At least one stress relieving portion is established at the imager PCB between the imager portion and each of the attaching portions. With the lens barrel received through an aperture of the housing, the attaching portions of the imager PCB are attached at the housing via respective fasteners.

Abstract: A vehicular camera module includes a housing that houses a lens barrel, a lens holder, a main circuit board, and an imager disposed on an imager circuit board that is electrically connected with the main circuit board. The main circuit board includes a main PCB and the imager circuit board includes an imager PCB. Circuitry disposed at the main PCB includes an image processor for processing image data captured by the imager. The main circuit board is accommodated within front and rear portions of the housing, while the imager is accommodated within the rear portion and is not accommodated within the front portion. The imager views exterior of the housing via an opening of the upper cover at the rear portion of the housing, and the lens barrel extends through the opening. The lens barrel is tilted at an acute angle upward relative to the plane of the main PCB.

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.
