Abstract
A camera for a vehicular vision system includes a camera housing, a PCB having circuitry disposed thereat, and a lens assembly. The circuitry includes an imager disposed at one side of the PCB, and the circuitry includes connecting terminals that protrude from the circuit board. The PCB is disposed in the camera housing and retained thereat via a fastener. The camera housing is open at a rear portion, and a sealing material is dispensed in the camera housing to seal the PCB and the connecting terminals in the camera housing. An electrical connector receives the connecting terminals and is disposed at an outer portion of the sealing material at the rear of the camera housing. The sealing material includes a thermally conductive resin and is dispensed in the camera housing in an uncured state. The sealing material, when cured, attaches the electrical connector at the rear portion of the camera.
