Abstract:
1. A camera module comprising: a lens made of heat-resistant material and having an optical axis; a barrel for receiving the lens, the barrel having a first barrel end, a second opposite barrel end, and a straight longitudinal axis passing through the first barrel end and second barrel end, the lens received in the barrel at the first barrel end with the optical axis of the lens coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the barrel; a baseboard mounted to the second barrel end by surface mount technology; an image sensor mounted on the baseboard receiving optical signals from the lens and converting the optical signals into electrical signals; a circuit board is directly mounted on a side surface of the barrel; and a discrete transmitting member physically between and contacting both and interconnecting the baseboard and the circuit board and transmitting the electrical signals to the circuit board; wherein the circuit board is substantially parallel to the optical axis of the lens and the longitudinal axis of the barrel and perpendicular to the baseboard and the image sensor.
