Abstract
A method for assembling a camera includes providing a circuit board with a first surface defining a plane and an aperture extending entirely through the circuit board. An image sensor is fixed on the first surface. A lens holder is provided with a lens barrel defining a central axis and supporting a lens in a fixed position relative to the lens barrel. A post extends outward from the lens barrel in a first direction. The circuit board and the lens holder are oriented such that the plane defined by a first surface of the circuit board is perpendicular to the central axis. The circuit board and the lens holder are axially joined so that the post is received by the aperture. A final alignment of the image sensor relative to the central axis and the lens is non-adjustably fixed upon sliding the post through the aperture.
