  • Publication number: 20170289420
    Abstract: An imager module for a vehicle camera, the imager module having at least: a lens holder, a lens accommodated in the lens holder, a flexible conductor device having leads, and an image sensor contacted by the leads of the flexible conductor device that has a front side having a sensitive surface; the image sensor being contacted by the leads using flip-chip technology via stud bumps provided at the front side thereof. The lens holder has a plastic part, in particular an injection-molded part, having a tubular region for accommodating the lens and a fastening region having a bottom side; and the flexible conductor device being integrally attached to the bottom side of the fastening region, and a non-conductive adhesive region being formed between the front side of the image sensor and the flexible conductor device around the stud bumps, preferably to produce a tensile stress. An insertion part is preferably received in the plastic body.
