Abstract
A vehicular camera includes a lens holder, a plurality of printed circuit boards and a housing portion. The individual printed circuit boards are stacked and overlap one another. Circuitry disposed at a first printed circuit board is electrically connected with circuitry disposed at a second printed circuit board via board-to-board electrical connection. The first side of the first printed circuit board is adhesively bonded to the lens holder via cured adhesive. Thermally conductive material is disposed between and is in thermally-conductive contact with the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board. A first electrical connector is disposed at the second printed circuit board and electrically connects with a second electrical connector of an electrical connector portion of the housing portion as the housing portion is being joined with the lens holder to encase the plurality of printed circuit boards during assembly of the vehicular camera.
