Implementations of the subject matter described herein include an actuator for adjusting focus in a camera. The actuator can include a carrier module that slides within a central opening of a housing and that carries a lens assembly of the camera. A magnet is located on a first lateral side of the carrier module. A wire coil is located on or along a first lateral side of the housing and faces the magnet on the first lateral side of the carrier module. A driver circuit is located on or along a second lateral side of the housing opposite the first lateral side of the housing. A connector component extends from a first region proximate the first lateral side of the housing to a second region proximate the second lateral side of the housing, the connector component including a conductor that electrically couples the driver circuit to the wire coil.
