HIKROBOT MV-CH120-10UM V5 — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX304, USB3.0, Mono, 30 fps
The MV-CH120-10UM V5 belongs to the V5 generation of the CH series and pairs the 1.1″ Sony® IMX304 global shutter CMOS sensor with a USB 3.0 link, delivering 4096 × 3000 monochrome frames at 30 fps. Pixel size (3.45 μm), SNR (40.2 dB) and dynamic range (70.4 dB) are unchanged, while the UltraShort exposure mode now starts at 1 μs and the standard mode spans 15 μs to 10 s. Typical power draw is just 2.4 W at 5 VDC.
It runs from USB 3.0 bus power with no separate supply, accepts a 9–24 VDC external input when preferred, and can also connect to USB 2.0 hosts. The 6-pin P7 connector gives one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and a bi-directional non-isolated line; LSC, Sequencer and transfer passive mode are built in. The 29 × 29 × 30 mm C-mount body weighs about 84 g, operates from –10 °C to 50 °C, tolerates storage from –30 °C to 80 °C and complies with USB3 Vision and GenICam.

Where it is used
Exposure down to 1 μs together with the global shutter lets the camera freeze fast-moving parts at 12 MP without smear, which matters for dimensional checks on stamped and forged parts, fine scratch detection on glass and metal, and position verification on semiconductor carriers. The 2.4 W draw eases the port power budget in multi-camera USB setups. Mono output is the choice wherever contrast rather than color drives the decision, such as gauging and code reading.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
