A cameras module with an auto-focus feature is equipped with a module base on which is disposed a camera signal contact terminal, and a main module unit on which is disposed a motor signal terminal extending from a side surface. A module connector includes an installation cavity for installing the camera module. A motor signal contact is disposed on the module connector, and the motor signal terminals are formed with a contact, which comes into contact with contacts of the motor signal contact when the camera module is installed in the installation cavity.
