Abstract

A connecting assembly comprises a substrate, a layer of conductive adhesive with conductive particles, a connection board, and a light transmission component. The connection board and the light transmission component are both glued to the substrate by the layer of conductive adhesive therebetween, and an operator can observe the a degree of deformation of the conductive particles in the layer of conductive adhesive to determine whether a conductive connection between the light transmission component and the substrate is affected. The connecting assembly allows an operator to effectively observe conductivity of every product in a nondestructive manner. A camera module comprising the connecting assembly and an electronic device are also disclosed.

Claims (29)
