Sensor combination

A sensor system of an electronic device, comprising:

• a housing having a front surface and a rear surface, the housing defining a bore that extends from the front surface, through the housing, and substantially toward the rear surface;
• one or more lenses disposed in the bore and for capturing an image using the electronic device;
• an image sensor positioned to receive light that passes through the one or more lenses, wherein the image sensor is aligned with the bore and disposed between the first lens and the rear surface;
• a sensing device mounted on the front surface of the housing and that is capable of detecting the proximity of an object relative to the electronic device, wherein the proximity-sensing device is mounted at a location on the front surface that is between a periphery of the bore and a sidewall of the housing that extends between the front surface of the housing and the rear surface of the housing;
• and
• a plurality of conductor elements adjacent the housing to provide an electrical connection between:
• (i) a circuit board of the electronic device and sensing device;
• (ii) the sensing device and the image sensor;
• and
• (iii) the circuit board and image sensor.
