1. A camera module comprising:
a first substrate on which an image sensor for converting an optical signal incident through a lens module into an electrical signal is disposed and a first connection terminal is disposed;
a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate and including a second connection terminal disposed in a position facing the first connection terminal; and
a terminal connector electrically connecting the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal to each other and configured to maintain a preset distance between the first substrate and the second substrate,
wherein the terminal connector includes:
a connecting member including a first connection portion connected to the first connection terminal, a second connection portion connected to the second connection terminal, and a deformable portion that connects the first connection portion and the second connection portion to each other and is elastically deformable according to the preset distance between the first substrate and the second substrate; and
a support member disposed between the first connection portion and the second connection portion and configured to maintain the preset distance between the first substrate and the second substrate.
