Abstract: A device for capturing data in the region of a digital camera. Within a camera housing, electronic components are arranged on at least two printed circuit boards. The circuit boards are joined to form a stack. At least one recess is formed in the region of at least one circuit board on the side associated with another circuit board, to receive components arranged on another circuit board. The digital camera optionally has at least one contour milling in the region of a circuit board for height compensation relative to the image sensor in the digital camera. The mechanical securing mechanism of a connection device of an interface into a fastening element connected to the circuit board stack is integrated with the connecting of the housing parts by a preloaded clip. A method for electrical contacting, by which essential parts of the device for capturing data can be produced.
