Abstract: A camera for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The camera includes a housing, wherein a receiving space, in which a lens module of the camera and a circuit board of the camera are arranged, is bounded by the housing. The camera has a longitudinal axis, wherein the circuit board and the lens module are arranged axially spaced from each other in the direction of this longitudinal axis such that a clearance is formed between the circuit board and the lens module. An elastic seal is arranged between the circuit board and the lens module such that the clearance is sealed from the remaining volume space in the housing by the seal.

Abstract: A camera for a motor vehicle includes a housing. The housing bounds a receiving space that contains a lens module and a circuit board. The camera includes a longitudinal axis and a heater for heating the lens module. The circuit board and the lens module are arranged axially spaced from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the camera so that a clearance is formed between the circuit board and the lens module. A support plate of the camera is arranged between the circuit board and the lens module. The support plate is a component separate from the circuit board, the housing, and the lens module. The support plate includes first electrical contact areas that are able to connect to electrical lines of the heater. Electrical energy is able to flow to the lens module to heat the lens module.
