Abstract
A vehicular camera module includes a main circuit board electrically connected with an imager circuit board via a flexible ribbon cable, an imager disposed on the imager circuit board, a housing, and a lens barrel accommodating at least one lens. Image data captured by the imager is provided via the flexible ribbon cable to circuitry disposed at a main PCB of the main circuit board. The main circuit board is accommodated within front and rear portions of the housing, while the imager is disposed within the rear portion and is not accommodated within the front portion. The lens barrel, as disposed at the camera module, is tilted at an acute angle upward relative to the plane of the main PCB of the main circuit board. The electronic circuitry disposed at the main PCB includes an electrical socket connector for electrical connection to a plug connector of a vehicular wire harness.
