HIKROBOT MV-CB050-60UM-C-F — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Stacked BSI, USB3.0 FPC, Mono, 80 fps, C-mount

The MV-CB050-60UM-C-F is a board-level camera producing 5 MP mono images at 2448×2048 from a Stacked BSI sensor, with a USB 3.0 FPC connection and a C-mount lens interface. It belongs to the bare-board branch of the CB series: the board ships without a housing and is fixed via its mounting holes inside the customer’s own enclosure. Among the 5 MP models here it has the highest frame rate (80 fps) and the highest SNR/dynamic range (42.4 dB / 73.9 dB), offering two gain modes (high full-well capacity 0–12.8 dB, high sensitivity 0–24 dB) that strike a different light-sensitivity balance than its color 5 MP sibling.
The USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) FPC connection carries data and power (typ. 1.5 W @ 5 VDC — notably lower than its color 5 MP sibling). Two bi-directional, non-isolated I/O lines on Line 2/Line 5 support triggering. Gain, exposure time, white balance, LUT and gamma correction can be adjusted manually or automatically; USB3 Vision/GenICam compliance ensures integration with the MVS client. Its –30 °C to 80 °C storage-temperature range is the widest in this set.

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.
- Adopts image interpolation algorithm for color camera to have better color correction.
- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam standard, and the third-party software based on these protocol and standard.
Where it is used
The 5 MP mono resolution and 80 fps speed suit this model to fine defect detection on PCBs/electronic components, high-resolution dimensional measurement, and mono quality-control stations on fast lines. Where color isn’t needed but detail and throughput are, it offers higher performance than its color 5 MP sibling.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
