Claim:
1. A camera module comprising: a molded electronics substrate with a top side and an opposing bottom side, wherein the top side includes a first set of bond pads and a second set of bond pads and the second side includes a third set of bond pads, and wherein the molded electronic substrate includes a rim protruding from the top side and away from the bottom side and in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first side; a lens that fits within the rim of the molded electronics substrate, wherein an edge of the lens contacts an inner sidewall of the rim; an image sensor electrically coupled to the first set of bond pads and disposed such that one or more photosensitive pixels of the image sensor are configured to receive light through the lens; and a voice coil motor (VCM) mechanically coupled to the lens and electrically coupled to the second set of bond pads, wherein the VCM is configured to move the lens relative to the image sensor, wherein the molded electronics substrate is configured to receive a VCM control signal via the third set of bond pads and route the VCM control signal to the second set of bond pads, and wherein the VCM control signal actuates the VCM to move the lens relative to the image sensor.
