Structure of a camera module with auto-focusing function and a module connector therefore

Abstract

A connection structure for a camera module with an auto-focus feature and a module connector that eliminates the need for wires and FPCs for connection between motor signal terminals and a printed circuit substrate, as will as the need for solder connection operations is also eliminated. A cameras module with an auto-focus feature is equipped with a module base on which is disposed a camera signal contact terminal, and a main module unit on which is disposed a motor signal terminal extending from a side surface. A module connector includes an installation cavity for installing the camera module. A motor signal contact is disposed on the module connector, and the motor signal terminals are formed with a contact, which comes into contact with contacts of the motor signal contact when the camera module is installed in the installation cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connection structure for connecting a camera module with an auto-focus function to a module connector having a mounting recess for mounting the module. Background technique [0002] In recent years, mobile phones with cameras have been greatly popularized, and people expect them to have various functions such as automatic focus and exposure adjustment. As a camera module 100 installed in a mobile phone with a camera, Figure 7 (a), Figure 7 (b), Figure 7 The module shown in (c) is already known, and as a module connector 110 for electrically connecting the module 100 to a printed wiring board, Figure 8 (a), Figure 8 The connector shown in (b) is already known. [0003] That is, the camera module 100 includes a camera module body 101 and a lens 102 , and on the bottom surface of the camera module body 101 , a plurality of contact pads 103 , 103 . . . , 105 , 105 . [0004] In addition, the module connector 110 i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in making Figure 9 When the camera module with auto focus function shown is electrically connected to the printed wiring board, although for the camera signal, it can be transmitted to the printed wiring board through the module connector, but for the motor signal, it must be In addition to the module connector, wires or FPC are used to connect to the printed wiring board separately. Therefore, there is a problem that wires or FPC must be used in addition to the module connector, and soldering and the like are required. Connection work to realize connection with motor signal terminals 203 and 203
