OEM Compact Mini 6.8mm Thickness Barcode Reader Module
Engineered for integration where space and durability are critical, the HW-1211E is an ultra-thin barcode scanning engine. Its compact form factor, measuring only 6.8mm in thickness, maximizes internal design freedom for device manufacturers. Dual lighting systems—a white fill light and a red aiming beam—work in tandem to ensure precise image acquisition and user-friendly targeting.
Product Overview
At its core, a 0.3MP sensor with global shutter technology captures 120 images per second, delivering high-speed reading of all common barcode symbologies with minimal errors and consistent reliability.
The module features an innovative 13-pin FFC connector interface that includes an auxiliary I/O channel. This added connectivity provides developers with enhanced flexibility to address complex project requirements and enable advanced functional expansions.
Exceptional environmental adaptability is a hallmark of the HW-1211E. It maintains stable performance in ambient temperatures as high as 85°C, a threshold exceeding that of most comparable engines, owing to its carefully selected, heat-resistant internal components.
