Abstract

A vehicular camera includes a housing for mounting the vehicular camera at an in-cabin side of a vehicle windshield. Width of the housing is greater than height of the housing and is greater than depth of the housing. The height of the vehicular camera is less than 35 mm. Circuitry disposed at a first side of a single circuit board accommodated by the housing includes an imager. A lens barrel accommodates a lens and protrudes outward from a front portion of the housing. Circuitry disposed at a second side of the single circuit board includes a coaxial connector that extends from the single circuit board to protrude outward from the rear portion of the housing. Image data captured by the vehicular camera is transferred via the coaxial connector to an electronic control unit that is located in the vehicle remote from where the vehicular camera is mounted.
