Patent Images
1. An imager assembly for a vehicle comprising:
- an optic lens comprising a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and a longitudinal axis extending there between;
an imager circuit comprising at least one circuit comprising an imager; and
a lens holder formed of a conductive material, wherein the lens holder forms;
a shielded cavity, wherein the shielded cavity is configured to receive the imager circuit; and
a mounting surface configured to receive a mating surface of the imager circuit, wherein the mounting surface is configured to align the longitudinal axis of the optic lens with the imager, and wherein the lens holder is configured to shield the imager circuit electromagnetic interference and prevent emissions from radiating out of the imager circuit from the lens holder.

Abstract
An imager assembly for a vehicle is disclosed. The assembly comprises an optic lens comprising a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and a longitudinal axis extending there between. An imager circuit is in conductive connection with an imager connector. The imager connector is configured to communicatively connect the imager circuit to the vehicle. A lens holder of a conductive material forms a shielded cavity configured to receive the proximal end portion of the optic lens and the imager circuit. The lens holder is configured to align the imager with the longitudinal axis of the optic lens.
