Spectral Response

ON Semiconductor AR0521 Spectral Response

The spectral response curve excludes lens characteristics and light source characteristics.

IR Cut Filter

To achieve best camera performance, Basler recommends using a dielectric IR cut filter.

The filter should transmit in a range from 400–≈700 nm, and it should cut off from ≈700–1100 nm.

Electrical Requirements

Danger

Electric Shock Hazard

Electric Shock Hazard Unapproved power supplies may cause electric shock. Serious injury or death may occur.
  • You must use power supplies that meet the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) and Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements.
  • If you use a powered hub or powered switch, they must meet the SELV and LPS requirements.

Warning

Fire Hazard

Fire Hazard Unapproved power supplies may cause fire and burns.
  • You must use power supplies that meet the Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements.
  • If you use a powered hub or powered switch, they must meet the LPS requirements.

Notice

Voltage outside of the specified range can damage the camera module.

You must supply camera and I/O power within the safe operating voltage ranges specified below.

Connectors

Camera Connectors

FFC Connector

The 28-pin connector on the camera is a flexible flat cable (FFC) connector by Hirose Electric Co. The connector provides connections for image transfer, input and output signals, and power supply. Standardized I²C lines are integrated, which are used for camera configuration via the Basler pylon Camera Software Suite.

The connector is specifically designed for shielded and impedance-controlled flexible flat cables. However, standard flexible flat cables without a ground layer can also be inserted. They will make good electrical contact, but you may notice a high rate of bit errors.

The connector order code is Hirose FH41-28S-0.5SH(05).

FFC Connector Pin Numbering and Assignments

Pin 1 Position

As shown below, pin 1 of the FFC connector is indicated by an arrow, and pin 28 is indicated by the number 28.
