An imaging system for a vehicle includes a camera module positionable at the vehicle and a control. The camera module includes a plastic housing that houses an image sensor, which is operable to capture images of a scene occurring exteriorly of the vehicle. The control is operable to process images captured by the image sensor. The portions of the housing may be laser welded or sonic welded together to substantially seal the image sensor and associated components within the plastic housing. The housing may include a ventilation portion that is at least partially permeable to water vapor to allow water vapor to pass therethrough while substantially precluding passage of water droplets and/or other contaminants. The housing may be movable at the vehicle between a stored position and an operational position, where the image sensor may be directed toward the exterior scene.

The invention discloses a laser soldering method, comprising the following steps: (1) a semiconductor laser radiates a PCB pad with set energy so that the surface of the PCB pad reaches certain preheating temperature; (2) solder wires are fed to the surface of the PCB pad by a wire feeding mechanism on condition of certain feeding parameters; (3) under the action of laser radiation, the solder wires are molten and the molten tin spreads and moistens over the surface of the PCB pad; (4) the solder wires are withdrawn and removed from the pad; (5) the semiconductor laser continues radiating the pad so that the solder wires spread over the surface of the pad fully; and (6) the laser is closed and the tin is naturally cooled to form soldering points. During the use of the method, laser is used as soldering heat source, solder wires which are used as brazing filler metal are conveyed by wire feeder, and soldering connection is realized through the action of radiation of the laser to the tin wires and the PCB pad. Due to the characteristics of local heating, rapid heating, rapid cooling and the like during soldering, the method can effectively reduce heat loss of elements and greatly enhance the qualified rate of soldering.
