ON-VEHICLE CAMERA

To eliminate the impact of some dimensional errors of an on-vehicle camera and the vehicle and improve the positioning accuracy of the on-vehicle camera.SOLUTION: An on-vehicle camera comprises: a lens barrel part that accommodates a lens; a planar welded ring projecting on the outer circumference of the lens barrel part in a direction to separate from the optical axis; a circuit board; an imaging element disposed on the circuit board; and a housing that accommodates at least the imaging element and the circuit board. The welded ring has a third plane, a fourth plane opposite the third plane, and at least three protrusions protruding on the third plane in a direction to separate from the fourth plane along the optical axis direction. At least one second cylindrically shaped end face of the housing is fastened to a first fastening region of the fourth plane of the welded ring, and at least the three protrusions of the welded ring are respectively arranged on the third plane of the welded ring at positions closer to the lens barrel part side than a first fastening-related region on the third plane corresponding to the first fastening region of the fourth plane.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】車載用カメラ及び車両の一部の寸法誤差の影響を排除し、車載用カメラの位置決め精度を向上する。【解決手段】車載用カメラは、レンズを収容する鏡筒部と、鏡筒部の外周において光軸から離れる方向に突出した面状の溶着リングと、回路基板と、回路基板に配置された撮像素子と、少なくとも撮像素子と回路基板を収容する筐体部と、を備える。溶着リングは、第３面と、第３面と反対の第４面と、第３面において光軸方向に沿って第４面から離れる方向に突出した少なくとも３つの突起部と、を備える。少なくとも筐体部の第２筒形状の一端面は、溶着リングの第４面の第１固着領域に固着され、溶着リングの少なくとも３つの突起部のそれぞれは、溶着リングの第３面において、第４面の第１固着領域に対応する第３面の第１固着対応領域より、鏡筒部側に配置される。【選択図】図５
