Abstract:
An injection molded image sensor for being electrically connected to a printed circuit board, the image sensor comprising:a plurality of metal sheets arranged in a matrix, each of the metal sheets having a first board, a second board and a third board to form a -shaped structure; an injection molded structure for encapsulating the metal sheets by way of injection molding, the injection molded structure having a first molded body and a second molded body, the injection molded structure having a U-shaped structure and being formed with a cavity, wherein the first boards of the metal sheets are exposed from a top surface of the first molded body to form signal input terminals, the second boards are exposed from a bottom surface of the first molded body to form signal output terminals, which are to be bonded to the printed circuit board, and the third boards are exposed from a side surface of the first molded body; a photosensitive chip mounted within the cavity of the injection molded structure; a plurality of bonding pads formed on the photosensitive chip; a plurality of wires for electrically connecting the bonding pads to the signal input terminals; and a transparent layer covering over the first molded body to encapsulate the photosensitive chip.
