An exemplary objective holder for engaging with a PCB substrate having an image sensor and several passive components arranged thereon, includes a base and several continuously connected walls extending from the base. The walls enclose a chamber thereamong for receiving the image sensor and define notches therein for receiving the passive components.
An objective holder for engaging with a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) substrate having an image sensor and a plurality of passive components arranged thereon, the objective holder comprising a collar enclosing a room adapted for receiving a lens module, a base, and a plurality of walls extending from the base, the walls enclosing a chamber thereamong for receiving the image sensor and defining notches therein, portions of the walls are thinner than the portions of the walls where the notches are defined, the passive components being received in the notches of the walls.

1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to objective holders and, particularly, to an objective holder for camera module having a compact configuration.
2. Description of Related Art
Many aspects of the present objective holder can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present camera module. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
FIG. 1 is an exploded, isometric view of an objective holder and a PCB substrate on which an image sensor and several passive components are arranged, wherein the objective holder is partially cut away for clear illustration.
FIG. 2 is an isometric view of the objective holder of FIG. 1, but viewed from a different angle.
Embodiments of the present objective holder will now be described in detail below and with reference to the drawings.
Referring to FIGS. 1-2, an objective holder 100 in the first embodiment may be engaged with a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate 300. An image sensor 320 and four passive components 340 are arranged on the PCB substrate 300. The passive components 340 surround the image sensor 320. The image sensor 320 may be a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor. The passive components 340 may be capacitors, inductors, or resistors.
The objective holder 100 comprises a base 110, a cylinder collar 122, and four walls 112. The cylinder collar 122 and the four walls 112 oppositely extend from the base 110. The cylinder collar 122 encloses a room 120 for receiving a lens module (not shown). The lens module (not shown) can be secured in the room 120 by any conventional means. The walls 112 are continuously connected together end to end and cooperatively enclose a chamber 130 thereamong. The chamber 130 is for receiving the image sensor 320 on the PCB substrate 300. The room 120 and the chamber 130 are coaxially aligned so that optical cores of the lens module (not shown) and the image sensor 320 are aligned for promoting precise imaging.
