Abstract:
A vehicular camera module includes a housing that houses an imager assembly and a main circuit board. The imager assembly is attached at an upper cover of the housing, with a flexible ribbon cable extending from an imager circuit board. The main circuit board has first circuitry disposed at a first planar side and second circuitry, including an image processor, disposed at a second planar side. An electrical connector at the second planar side connects with an electrical connector of the flexible ribbon cable. The main circuit board is accommodated within front and rear portions of the housing, while the imager is accommodated within the rear portion and is not accommodated within the front portion. A mounting bracket mounts the camera module at the windshield of the vehicle, with the imager viewing through a portion of the windshield in a forward direction of travel of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 15):
The camera module of  claim 1 , wherein, with said camera module mounted at the mounting bracket that is attached at the in-cabin side of the windshield of the equipped vehicle, a stray light shield is present that reduces incidence of stray light at the imager of the imager assembly, and wherein the mounting bracket is formed of a polymeric material in an injection molding operation, and wherein the mounting bracket comprises said stray light shield, and wherein said stray light shield is integrally formed with the mounting bracket by injection molding of polymeric material in the injection molding operation, and wherein said stray light shield constitutes an integral part of the mounting bracket, and wherein said stray light shield comprises a base portion and side walls that extend upward from said base portion so as to establish a pocket, and wherein at least said base portion of said stray light shield comprises light traps configured to at least partially trap extraneous light emanating from exterior the equipped vehicle and passing through the windshield of the equipped vehicle so as to be incident at said base portion, said light traps reducing incidence of extraneous light at the imager.
