Abstract:
A method of assembling a camera for a vehicular vision system includes providing a camera housing and forming a post at an interior portion of the camera housing, and positioning a printed circuit board in the camera housing so that the post is received through a hole through the printed circuit board such that a protruding end of the post protrudes from the side of the printed circuit board opposite the imager. Circuitry disposed at one side of the printed circuit board includes an imager. The protruding end of the post is adapted to limit retraction of the post from the hole through the printed circuit board so as to secure the printed circuit board relative to the post and the camera housing. A lens is provided at the camera housing.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of assembling a camera for a vision system for a vehicle, said method comprising:\n providing a camera housing; wherein providing the camera housing comprises forming at least one post at an interior portion of the camera housing, the at least one post having a protruding end; providing a printed circuit board having circuitry disposed thereat, wherein the printed circuit board has a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the circuitry includes an imager disposed at the first side of the printed circuit board; positioning the printed circuit board in the camera housing with the imager and the first side of the printed circuit board facing toward a lens holding end of the camera housing; wherein positioning the printed circuit board in the camera housing comprises receiving the at least one post through a respective at least one hole through the printed circuit board such that the protruding end of the at least one post protrudes from the second side of the printed circuit board; adapting the protruding end of the at least one post to limit retraction of the at least one post from the at least one hole through the printed circuit board and to secure the printed circuit board relative to the at least one post and the camera housing; and providing a lens at the lens holding end of the camera housing.
