6. A camera module, comprising:
a housing, wherein a circuit board, including an image sensor, which is inserted into and fixed in the housing;
an objective lens including an electrical interface, which is also inserted into the housing, aligned with respect to the image sensor, and fixed in the housing; and
clamping and/or fixing elements, which are situated between the housing and the circuit board, which act via holding elements upon spring contacts, so that the spring contacts are held in contact with the circuit board and in contact with the electrical interface;
wherein the spring contacts are held in a movable manner, movable in a radial direction, at the circuit board via the holding elements, and
wherein a free space between the holding elements and the housing is used after the fixing of the objective lens in the housing for accommodating the clamping elements and/or fixing elements, which are inserted into the free space from the outside, so as to press and swivel the holding elements, including the spring contacts, radially inward, so that the spring contacts rest against contact surfaces of the electrical interface formed at the objective lens.
