Secure Wiring Solutions for Dashboard Camera Components

Vehicle vision system using cameras to capture images around the vehicle. The cameras are mounted on the vehicle and connected to the vehicle's wiring harness. The cameras have shielding to reduce radio frequency interference. The camera has a shielding structure that connects the camera's shield to the connector when attached.

Camera module for vehicles with improved structure to fix and support multiple PCBs with the PCBs spaced apart from each other even without additional spacers and screws. The camera module includes an outer shield surrounding the PCBs and shielding them from electromagnetic interference, and support units within the shield that contact and support the PCBs. This allows fixing multiple PCBs together without needing screws and spacers.

Vehicle camera system for providing enhanced rearward visibility and object detection to aid drivers in maneuvering. The system uses cameras and image processing to capture and display images. It aligns and connects coaxial connectors to camera PCBs so they remain aligned when enclosed in housings. This prevents misalignment when cables are connected.

Vehicle camera with enhanced electrical connection to vehicle wiring through self-adjusting spring-loaded connectors that flex to maintain contact with internal circuitry as the camera housing is assembled. The camera housing has two portions, one with a lens and the other with the connector. Inside is a circuit board with an imager. As the housing parts are joined, the spring connectors engage the circuitry to electrically connect the terminals to the imager board.

Vehicle camera design that reduces cost and complexity while improving reliability. The camera has a rear housing with electrical connectors that directly mate with front housing connectors, eliminating jumper wires. The rear housing aligns with the front housing using an alignment feature. The camera also has features like conductive coating to ground the front housing and a rotating lock for installation without fasteners.

Vehicle camera with self-adjusting connector for enhanced electrical connection between vehicle wiring and camera electronics. The camera housing has a connector to attach to the vehicle wiring. Inside the housing is circuitry and an image sensor. The connector has coaxial pins that self-adjust to maintain electrical contact with the internal circuitry as the housing and components may shift during assembly and use. This enables a robust connection that compensates for misalignment and tolerances.

A camera for vehicle vision systems with improved electrical connections between the camera housing connector and internal circuitry. The camera connector has self-adjusting pins that extend, retract, or flex to maintain engagement with the internal circuitry as the housing is assembled and during use. This allows for manufacturing tolerance variations without breaking the electrical connection over the lifetime of the camera.

Vehicle side camera mounting system that allows the camera wire to be routed through the door without disassembly. It has a housing mounted on the vehicle body, a camera inside the housing, and a wire rod connected to the camera. A wiring portion extends from the housing through the door gap to connect the wire rod to a display inside the vehicle. Fixing devices along the wire rod inside the door control its direction. This allows the camera wire to be guided through the door without disassembly, reducing installation time and avoiding damage. The camera housing also has multiple camera bodies to capture comprehensive views.

A vehicle vision system that uses cameras to capture exterior images for driver assistance and object detection. The camera housing is molded in two steps: first, overmolding a low pressure material around the electronics and lens to fully encase them while aligning the lens focus, and second, overmolding a higher pressure material to add a rigid outer shell with connectors for wiring.

Vehicle cameras with improved electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance to prevent interference with other vehicle systems. The camera has a housing that shields electromagnetic radiation, a circuit board inside the housing, and an interface device to connect the camera to the vehicle. The interface device includes a coaxial plug with inner and outer conductors. The camera housing is electrically connected to the outer conductor to ground the camera components. This prevents radiation leakage and provides EMC by shielding. The housing connection can be a spring washer or ring that contacts the outer conductor and housing interior.

Camera for motor vehicles that has improved electromagnetic compatibility. The camera housing is configured to shield electromagnetic radiation. The camera has a coaxial plug with an inner conductor and an outer conductor for connecting to the vehicle. The outer conductor is electrically connected to the housing using a serrated washer. This grounds the camera housing to shield radiation from the internal components. The grounded housing prevents electromagnetic interference from entering or exiting the camera.
