Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method for manufacturing a camera module, the method comprising:
a) mounting an image sensor on a circuit board;
b) inserting and fixing the circuit board into a housing, wherein spring contacts, which are movable with respect to the circuit board, are inserted into the housing together with the circuit board;
c) aligning an objective lens accommodated in the housing and including an electrical interface with respect to the image sensor;
d) fixing the objective lens in the housing; and
e) bringing, after the fixation of the objective lens in the housing, the spring contacts into contact with the electrical interface using clamping and/or fixing elements;
wherein the spring contacts are held in a movable manner, movable in a radial direction, at the circuit board via holding elements at least during steps b) through d), and
wherein a free space between the holding elements and the housing is used after the fixing of the objective lens in the housing for accommodating the clamping elements and/or fixing elements, which are inserted into the free space from the outside, so as to press and swivel the holding elements, including the spring contacts, radially inward, so that the spring contacts rest against contact surfaces of the electrical interface formed at the objective lens.
