A method for manufacturing an objective. A component at risk of icing up, for example an optical lens or a radiation-permeable cover, is inserted into a housing and connected to, preferably braced against, the housing, by an interconnection of a heating ring made of an electrically conductive elastomer material. An objective, and an imager module that includes an objective are also description.

Method for manufacturing an objective, objective, and imager module including an objective

A camera module. The camera module includes a circuit board on which at least one image sensor is situated; an objective including a lens housing and multiple optical lenses situated inside the lens housing; an objective holder, which is connected to the circuit board and is designed to hold the objective; and at least one temperature control element, which is designed to influence the temperature of at least one front lens of the objective; a second optical lens being situated at the front lens. The front lens and/or the second optical lens includes/include at least one recess, the at least one temperature control element being situated in the at least one recess.

The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for producing a plug-through connection arrangement of a plurality of electrical cables (-) and/or fluid-conducting hoses, having a sheathing () consisting of a plastic, which extend, arranged adjacently spaced apart from each other, through associated openings (-) of a plastic component (), comprising the following steps: providing (A) the plastic part () with the pre-produced plurality of openings (-), installing (B) the electrical cables (-) and/or fluid-conducting hoses through the associated openings (-), such that the outer wall of the sheathing (), which consists of plastic, comes into contact with the inner wall of the respective openings (-) of the plastic component (), thermal welding (C) of the electrical cables (-) and/or fluid-conducting hoses to the plastic component () in the region of the respective opening (-), in order to produce an integrally sealing component bond, wherein at least two laser beam units (), positioned opposite each other, are aligned to an associated initial connection point, after which the oppositely positioned laser beam units () are activated and caused to undergo a linear relative movement crosswise to the orientation of the openings (-), in order to create the integral bond by surface melting of the sheathing () together with the plastic component ().

A method for producing a modular electrical connector assembly for a vehicle control unit, the connector assembly having a module carrier and at least two connector modules disposed side-by-side on the carrier. Each connector module has a connector housing collar and a plurality of contact elements disposed in a contact area within the connector housing collar. First, one of the connector modules is placed in an opening in the module carrier and positioned precisely relative to the module carrier. The connector module is pressed with a hold-down device against the module carrier retained in a holding device. In this state, the connector module is laser-welded to the carrier in an attachment region with a laser beam. Laser welding permits a reliably stable and fluid-tight, material-locking connection between the components, and an advantageous, space-saving placement of the attachment region laterally within the collar, with higher manufacturing precision and small manufacturing tolerances.
