HIKROBOT MV-CB020-61UM-B-F — Area Scan Cameras
2 MP, Stacked BSI, USB3.0 FPC, Mono, 99 fps, no lens mount

The MV-CB020-61UM-B-F is a board-level camera producing 2 MP mono images at 1624×1240 from a Stacked BSI sensor, connected over a USB 3.0 FPC (flexible printed circuit) interface. It belongs to the bare-board branch of the CB series: it has no lens mount at all (“none”), and the board ships without a housing, integrated via its mounting holes and the FPC cable connection into the customer’s own enclosure. What sets it apart is both the FPC interface and its two selectable gain modes (high full-well capacity: 0–12.8 dB; high sensitivity: 0–24 dB); a larger 1/1.7″ sensor and a 42.4 dB SNR / 73.9 dB dynamic range give it a wider signal range than the 1.6 MP models.
The USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 backward-compatible) FPC connection carries both data and power (typ. 1.5 W @ 5 VDC); the flexible cable lets the sensor board sit apart from the main board in tight mounting spaces where a standard connector wouldn’t fit. Two bi-directional, non-isolated I/O lines on Line 2/Line 5 are available for triggering. USB3 Vision/GenICam compliance enables direct operation with the MVS client; gain, exposure time, white balance, LUT and gamma correction can all be adjusted manually or automatically.

Key features
- USB3.0 supports FPC connection to meet limited spatial requirements.
- Supports auto or manual adjustment of gain, exposure time, white balance, LUT correction, Gamma correction, etc.
- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam standard, and the third-party software based on these protocol and standard.
Where it is used
The lack of a lens mount, the FPC connector, and the two gain modes point this model toward embedded devices with tight internal volume — kiosks, ATMs, medical devices, or compact imaging modules on a robot arm. The larger 1/1.7″ sensor and wide dynamic range suit general-purpose machine vision tasks under variable lighting.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
