Endoscope Camera Module Diameter Selection FAQs

Quick Answer

Camera diameter should be selected from the complete device structure, not from a product image or sensor specification. The catalog covers ultra-small 0.9-2.0 mm directions, flexible 3.x mm products, 5.0-6.0 mm 1080P60 models and larger 7.0-12.5 mm designs. Each range offers different trade-offs in resolution, LEDs, shell, cable, autofocus and multi-view structure. These FAQs help OEM teams define the practical diameter before requesting samples.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the smallest endoscope camera direction in the catalog?

The catalog includes an approximately 0.9 mm OCHTA10 bare-module direction and a 0.95 mm configuration with integrated LEDs. Final probe diameter may be larger after shell, cable and assembly are added.

2. What can be expected from 1.5-2.0 mm modules?

This range supports ultra-compact OVM6946 and OCHFA10 directions, including USB, AV, direct-view and side-view options. The priority is usually insertion size and practical visualization rather than high pixel count.

3. Why are there many products around 3.0-3.9 mm?

This range can balance compact size with wider choices in sensor, interface, frame rate, integrated or separated structure, LEDs, side view and steel shell. It is a practical design space for many OEM projects.

4. When should a 5.0-6.0 mm module be considered?

Consider this range when the device needs 1080P60, long-cable options, more mechanical space, stronger shell, dimming controls, dual view or higher-resolution sensors. Confirm that the insertion channel can accept the finished diameter.

5. What is the value of 7.0-8.0 mm modules?

Larger heads can support 1080P imaging, more robust mechanics and easier optical integration. The catalog includes GC2755 directions around 7.0 and 8.0 mm for projects where insertion size is less restrictive.

6. Why are 12.5 mm products included in an endoscope catalog?

Some industrial cavity-inspection devices need higher-resolution autofocus or side-view structures rather than an ultra-small probe. The SF-SP11D and SF-SP12 directions serve larger devices with different imaging and mechanical priorities.

7. Does bare-module diameter equal final camera-head diameter?

No. The final diameter includes PCB or sensor package, lens, LEDs, shell wall, sealing, adhesive and production tolerance. Always request the final assembly drawing for mechanical design.

8. How does side-view structure affect diameter?

A side-view design needs a lateral optical path or window and suitable illumination. These components can increase the required cross-section or change the front-section geometry, even if the sensor is small.

9. Can the diameter be customized by changing the shell only?

Sometimes the shell can be adjusted, but the minimum size is limited by the sensor, lens, LED layout, cable and assembly process. A meaningful diameter change may require a new optical and mechanical design.

10. What dimensions should be sent for evaluation?

Provide maximum outer diameter, front rigid length, insertion-channel size, bend radius, cable exit, shell requirement and available board space. Include image, interface and lighting requirements because mechanical and imaging choices are linked.
