Abstract
A camera module may be assembled from a base component formed of a horizontal surface and having a raised wall that extends vertically from the horizontal surface and a housing component having a vertical surface that affixes to, with adhesive, the raised wall of the base component. Assembly of the camera module may include dispensing adhesive along a top edge of the raised wall to partially overhang the edge and placing the housing component down onto the base component. During assembly, the adhesive that is distributed on the top surface of the raised wall can be sheared or otherwise distributed by the action of the a corresponding wall of the housing component moving to past the top surface and causes at least some of the adhesive to spread between opposing surfaces of respective vertical walls of the base component and the housing component of the camera. The adhesive is then cured.
