Abstract
A windshield electronics module disposed at a vehicle includes a camera module having a camera housing that accommodates a camera and circuitry. The camera housing includes lower heat dissipating fins and rear heat dissipating fins. A cooling fan assembly is mounted at a lower portion of the camera housing. The cooling fan assembly draws air from an interior cabin of the vehicle via an air intake of the vehicular windshield electronics module and directs the drawn air as airflow (i) in a radial direction with respect to an axis of rotation of the fan blades, and (ii) in an axial direction with respect to the axis of rotation of the fan blades. The cooling fan assembly directs the drawn air as airflow (i) in the radial direction along and between the lower heat dissipating fins, and (ii) in the axial direction along and between the rear heat dissipating fins.
