An exemplary objective holder engages with a PCB substrate having an image
sensor and several passive components arranged thereon. The passive
components surround the image sensor. The objective includes a lens
barrel extending from a side of a base, and a plurality of walls
extending from an opposite side of the base. The walls enclose a chamber
thereamong for receiving the image sensor and define notches therein for
receiving the passive components therein. A transparent cover is received
in the objective holder between the lens barrel and the chamber. An
adhesive is used to connect the objective holder to the PCB substrate.
The PCB substrate is rested on the walls. At least one of the notches
communicates the chamber to an exterior for outgassing and is sealed by a
mass of sealing material after a heating process of the adhesive.
