Imaging system lens mounting arrangement

An imaging system comprising:

• an imaging device mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) of the imaging system;
• a lens;
• a lens holder;
• and
• an electrically conducting element configured to provide an electrical grounding connection between the lens and the PCB;
• wherein:
• the lens is attached to the lens holder at an interface between a first upper bearing surface of the lens and a second lower bearing surface of the lens holder;
• the lens is attachable to the lens holder at an adhesive layer located between the bearing surfaces at a first interface portion;
• the adhesive layer is non-conducting and configured to provide a stabilized coupling between lens and the lens holder for precision alignment of optically active components;
• at least one recess is provided at a second interface portion between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface;
• wherein the conducting element is configured for engagement with the bearing surfaces of each of the lens and the lens holder at least one corresponding recess to provide an electrically conducting connection between the lens and lens holder;
• and
• the conducting element is resilient and of annular or c-shaped form, deformable for location in the recess.
