Abstract
A vehicular camera includes a camera housing having a front housing portion and a rear housing portion. The front housing portion includes a plurality of optical elements, a CMOS imager, and an imager printed circuit board. The CMOS imager is at a first side of the imager printed circuit board. The plurality of optical elements is held in position relative to the CMOS imager by an adhesive, whereby the imaging array at the outer side of the CMOS imager is devoid of the adhesive. The adhesive is formed by curing an adhesive material that is curable via exposure of the adhesive material to ultraviolet (UV) light. The adhesive maintains the position of the plurality of optical elements with respect to the CMOS imager during use of the vehicular camera assembly on a vehicle equipped with the vehicular camera assembly. The back housing portion is joined at the front housing portion.
